Early Cigarette Smokers.
From the London Reader


Who first introduced cigarettes into this
country? They were first used in the streets
here by the late Laurence Oliphant. and,
curiously enough, the introduction of this
method of smoking to the English people
came as a result OF the Crimean war. Our
officers in Russia, among other hardships.
could not procure tobacco or cigars. and
learned the use of the cigarette from their
French. Italian and Turkish allies. and also
from their stay in Malta and Gibraltar. In
troduced into London military and other
clubs the custom made very slow
progress. But its steadily spread from
1870 to 1880. when the fashion was set by
the golden youth of those days.

BOOM FOR CALDWELL
SENATOR ELKINS PREFERS HIM
FOR WEST VIRGINIA GOVERNOR.

Special Correspondence OF Inc star.
WHEELING. W. Va, July 6, 1907.
From circles close to Senator Elkins
comes the information that he favors
James l.. Caldwell of Huntington for the
republican gubernatorial nomination. The
chief surprise in this report lies in the
fact that Charles w. Swisher, now the
leading candidate, is one of Elkins' princi-
pal political proteges, and the impression
has gone out that Swisher is being backed
by Elkins.
But the story goes that at every little
confab OF senators and representatives in
Washington where the governorship is
discussed that Elkins invariably injects a
boost for Caldwell. His interest is dis
played more in the nature OF a query why
, Caldwell should not be taken up and
pushed rather than a personal insistence
on his own part. but the senior senator
always makes 1t clear that he would like
TO sec Caldwell honored.
All of which reviyes the candidacy of
Caldwell for the Senate five years ago

trimmings. On these tables are the Mary
land apples which are rated by horticul-
turists as among the finest in the world.
Thirty-five varieties of this fruit are shown,
and to see these alone is well worth a visit
to the building.
On each plate of fruit and. in fact. on
every exhibit in the booth is a card on
which are printed a map of Maryland and
the variety of the exhibit, together with the
name and address of the exhibitor. The
locality from which the specimen was sent
Is designated on the map by red cross.
Thus one is enabled to tell at q glance all
about the specimen in question. In addi-
ton to their individual use, these cards
constitute a valuable horticultural cOllec-
tion inasmuch as they assign to each sec
ton of the state the fruits for which 1t Is
best known.
The M. A. C. Exhibit.
At the right end of the booth is shown the
exhibit from the Maryland Agricultural
College. This consists of a large case con-
tanning some fifty specimens of STEEL iron
and wood work. an equal number of orig
inal mechanical drawings, and large as
sortment of photographs showing the stu
dents with their instructors engaged in ac-
tive experiment and test work in the lab
oratory and in the field Next there is an
interesting entomology exhibit, consisting
of about twenty-five specimens of the bene-
fetal insects with several large models de-
vised for the study of the internal anatomy
of the insects. The college collection con-
tains twenty thousand specimens. Those
sent to the exposition are to show the meth

Selling "Odd" Gloves.
I Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch

New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch
Several haberdashers in town have an
odd glove counter where they sell odd
gloves, left. as a rule. for about a quarter
apiece. These odd gloves are not bought
solely, or even chiefly, by the one-handed:
they are bought by men of every walk In
life. The average man wears his left glove
a good deaf more than his right, keeping
his right hand free to hold his cigar or to
dive for change. Hence a left hand goes
first and right one will often be in perfect
ly good condition when the left ons is worn
out. Therefore the furnishers are careful
to soil only right gloves. putting them up
permost in the box and the window, fitting
them on the hand. and finally. if they get
soiled. throwing them away, assured that
for the lefts remaining a reasonable price
can always be had.

Republicans for Harmony.
Among the republicans there is strong
desire to have harmony-that is, by the
men not actively tied up with opposing
factions, and factional feeling is gradually
passing away among the leaders. Chair
man Parran of the state committee Is
working hard to bring about harmony and
is being actively supported in this direc-
ton by Representative Mudd. 1t is the
general impression that the republicans
will realize that the chaotic conditions
within the democratic party make the
chances for republican success this fall ex-
cellent and that they will all get together,
bury the Ratchet and work shoulder to
shoulder for the success of the whole
party ticket. At the present time an I'M
biased review of the situation in both
parties must lead to the conclusion that
the republicans have the best chance of
carrying the state this fall, provided the
