IT'S ONLY T.,
BUT MUM

1t is probable. although Sir Thomas
Upton will not admit IT, that the New
York Yacht club will receive a challenge
for the Americas cup for 1905 The time
for challenging does not expire until Oc-
tober. and II is not likely that the chal-
lenge will be sent until tlse last moment.
Speaking of the matter yesterday. Sir
Thomas said he would not say yet wheth-
er he intended 10 send yacht across the
Atlantic next year or send n challenge
before the time for a challenge expired.
as IL would simply be giving the holders
of the cup more time in which to arrange
for its defence.
Friends of Sir Thomas say he is most
anxious to make another try and that
unless something unforeseen happens an
other Shamrock will cross the Atlantic
next year.
Sir Thomas yesterday sent to Boston a
handsome silver cup as prize for sailing
a race between fishermen.

Big Fund for Road improvement.

Within the next year the amount
Of cash available for road improvement
in this state will be greatly larger
than in any previous twelve months.
The legislature at the last session ap-
propriated for roads the $500,00 re-
ceived from the national government
for war claims. Any county can get
its share of this sum by agreeing to
spend for the same purpose, in addition
to its usual road levy, an amount equal
to its allotment from the S500,000
obtained from Washington. A general
agreement TO act would give the coun:
ties $1,000,000 and to this special
amount is to be added $500, 200, which
is the average of annual road expendi-
lures, but which fails to secure, as the
people Of the state we'll know, any ma
terial permanent Improvement OF the
highways.
At the Tate regular session the new
Office Of the county highway engineer
was created in each county, TO have
general supervision Of its roads.
These officials will be appointed by the
county courts at their first meeting In
January, 1908, and will serve for two
years. They must have a knowledge
Of civil engineering and road and
bridge building, must personally in-
spect and report on roads, instruct
overseers, prepare road maps, bring
roads 10 grade and supervise expendi-
lures. Another act Of OF the same
session provides for state highway
engineer to be appointed by and be
under the general supervision Of the
] state board Of agriculture. Enter

IF I ONLY HAD CAPITAL.

Young man, you already have
capital. You have hands, feet,
bone, brain, muscle, health; and
are not these capital? What more
capital has God given to anybody
"Well, if | only had a few thous-
and dollars in cash capital" But
these are better than cash capital,
for no one can take them from you,
and with these you can earn cash.
Our men OF wealth and influence
did not start with any cash capi-
tai. They went to work with the
plow, the hoe, the jack-plane or
broad-axe, and in time their capi-
tai brought them a rich harvest.
All this is the rub; you don't want
to work; you want money on credit,
so you can play the gentleman,
and speculate, and play vagabond.
You want to marry a rich girl who
will support you. You want to
wear fine clothes and smoke cigars
and be gentleman Of leisure.
Shame on you, young man! Go
to work with the capital you have,
and you will soon make interest
enough upon it to give you as
much money as you need. If you
cannot make money upon
what capital you have, you could
not if you had larger amount in
cash. If you waste your present
capital you would waste money if
you had it. Then don't stand
around, helpless fellow, waiting
for something to turn up, but go
to work. Take the first work you
can get to do, and do it well. AL
ways do your best, and if you
manage your present capital well
you will soon have plenty more to
manage.

Death of Walter A. Schiller.

The terrible tragedy at Long Branch,
where in the burning of their summer
cottage the two daughters of Walter A.
Schiller, secretary of the United Cigar
Manufacturers company, lost their lives,
eliminated last Saturday in the death of
Mr.. Schiller himself. from the injuries
he had sustained in his efforts to rescue
his family and household from the
flames. When he finally escaped from
the burning building he was frightfully
burned and barely conscious. He was
taken to the villa of friend close by,
where he fingered in agony until Satur-~
day morning when he breathed his last.
Mr.. Schiller was one of the most con-
spicuous and respected members of the
cigar manufacturing industry with
which he had been connected for twenty
six years. He was in his fiftieth year,
and New Yorker by birth and educa-
ton. During the whole of his career in
the cigar industry he bad been associ-
ated with Mr. Jacob Werthein, now pres
idept of the United Cigar Manufactur-
ers' company, with whom he originally
formed partnership under the style of
Wertheim & Schiller, with a cigar fac
tory on East Sixty fifth street. AS busi
ness associates the two partners were
admirably suited to one another, for the
hustling and aggressive character OF Mr..
Wertheim we're tempered and equalizod
by the cooler, conservative Judgment eff
Mr.. Schiller, who throughout his career
concerned himself mainly with the office
and financial management Of the busi-
ness, which has since grown to such vast
proportions, and to whose clear discern
ment and marked financial ability the
success is in large proportion due.
Mr.. Schiffer's was an impressive and
forceful personality, but withal pleas
ant and attractive one. His abilities
were unquestioned and his whole char
acter was such that by his untimely
death heavy loss was inflicted on the
entire cigar industry.-U. S. Tobacco

Setting here has begun, although on a
small scale, but the farmers are all
ready to commence tomorrow If the
eather is all right. Some have set to-
day, but the ground is rather too wet for
plants to start to growing. There is
some complaint of root rot in this Sec
ton; nothing serious as yet, only part
of some beds. Still cold weather. A few
tobacco growers have transplanted an
acre or two of tobacco in order to save
the plants, and some have pulled out the
larger plants and thrown them away.
Some are trying to hold back the plants,
fearing they will get frosted if set out in

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGKRToN, WIS, June IA,


Another week of disappointing wealth
er, mostly of rains and very little sun
shine, has not tended to improve the
prospects of the coming tobacco crop as
was hoped for. The soil has become so
completely water soaked that but little
work could be accomplished toward pre-
pairing the fields. The plant beds are
making some progress it is true, but not
coming forward as they would under
warmer temperature and plenty of sun
shine. There are percentage of grow
ars who will start their transplanting the
coming week, however, which is not far
behind the usual time of planting the
crop. But the average grower finds his
plants so much belated that the bulk of
the crop can scarcely be pitched in the
fields this month even under favorable
weather conditions.
The cured leaf markets are barren Of
all news of Importance, either in eastern
csnters or among local dealers. G. FL.
Rumrill of GAINESVILLE picked up car of
bundled leaf here this week.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 600cs for the week past from this
market to all points.

Full reports received by the New Eng
land Homestead indicate that up to the
opening of June less than Is per cent. of
the New England tobacco crop of '07 had
been set in the open. In many impor-
tant producing towns of Massachusetts,
and Connecticut the work of transplant
ing had no more than begun by the
opening of this week. Without excep-
tion farmers complain that the season is
late Here ana there actual losses of
plants by freezing are reported, and a
too considerable proportion of tobacco
set prior to June / was destroyed in l',,
field. In spite of the lateness of y y
season farmers are not disheartenf 4 ].
The majority had planned for a fin
ply of plants, and if we can onl, ,-
good, warm, favorable weather betwfcn
now and June 20, there is NJ reason "
the latter date should not see the ~ n
crop, in the open and growing lus y.
New England farmers can draw some
sympathy from the fact that they are
not alone in suffering from retarded
season. Reports from New York. Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin are of the
same tenor.

New York


There are no perceptible changes to
be noted in the leaf market. Stocks are
low and the expected break in prices has
not yet materialized. Aside of the in
creased output of our cigar industry, the
backward season, so unfavorable for the
raising of bumper tobacco crop this
year, is helping the market to maintain
its firmness in regard to prices. If
good, old-fashioned summer does not set
in at once, crops will not only be late,
but short and tainted probably with the
consequences of the unpropitious wealth
er. In Sumatra trading steady activity
continues The new importations are
moving fast and satisfactorily both to
the importer and buyer. In the contin-
uous demand for the Sumatra manifests
itself the steady increase of the cigar in
dustry, as the Sumatra is and remains
the bulwark of the wrapper supply. The
Havana market, however, is still some
what slack. Livelier trade is sure to
come with the marketing of the new
crop.
Conditions in the local cigar manufac-
turing industry showed distinct i'm
provement during the past week and the
outlook is now quite encouraging. Sew
eral factories, during the recent lull, had
partly shut down, laying off consider
able proportion Of their help, but were
finding it necessary to re-employ men to
meet the demand for their product.
During the past week this movement
has continued, and the majority of fac
tories, especially the seed and Havana
ones, are now running with a full COM
plement and having all they can do to
handle the accumulated business. The
announcement that one Of the most i'm
portant clear Havana cigar manufacture
ing houses in the industry has advanced
it's prices should be of general interest,
as it may possibly prelude general ad
vance, though this is matter which has
not received much attention of late
