With such prices the outlook for the United
States or any other country to capture
the cigar and cigarette trade of India is
rather discouraging, yet Key West cigars
are on sale here.
There is another obstacle in the way of
importers of cigars in India. 1t is a moth
orNhy that finds its way into box of
cigars or tobacco and lays an egg that
soon develops into a destructive worm or
grub. which bores through the wrapper
into the body of the cigar and ruins it,
There is hardly anything that will keep

TROUBLE MAY Sc BREWING
LOCAL VETERANS OF WAR WITH
MEXICO HAVE GRIEVANCE.
Say Comrades in Baltimore Want to
Greece Out" District Contin-
gent From Association.

Trouble is said to be brewing between
those venerable veterans of the Mexican wal
who reside in Washington and. their fellow
vets who live In the sister city of Balti-
more. And it is all because the Baltimore
survivors, or some of them, are alleged to
be trying to manipulate the affairs of the
National Mexican War Veterans Associa
ton and to freeze out the District con-
tingent.
The matter has been taken in hand by
John W. Davis of this city. who is vet
eran of three wars-the war with Mexico
the civil war and the war with Spain. in
addition to several smaller affairs in which
shot and shell figured.

Notwithstanding his more than four score
years Mr.. Davis is still a hearty and Wig

Baltimore veterans of the Mexican war is
that they called. a meeting of the so-called
national association and failed to notify
the Washington members.
