DEATH Of FORMER
HONOLULU PASTOR
Boston. Noy. u. 1907

Boston, Nov. q, 1907.
TWOMBLY-Tn Newton. Nov. IS, the
Rev. Alexander Stevenson Twombly.
D. D., aged rs years. Funeral at his
late residence, Thursday, Nov q, at
.. m. Friends kindly omit flowers
Editor Advertiser: The above brief
notice gives the close of the life of one
who some years ago ministered to the
people of the Central Union church
DR.. Twombly by his genial nature
made friends wherever he took his res
idence. His life in Hawaii was ever
source of great pleasure in his years
of retirement after his return to his
home in Newton, Mass.
His interest was probably shown in
his two books, '*Kealea, the Surf
Rider" in which he found great en-
joyment in writing. In talking over
some of the characters, he said one
day: II never see such folks. They are
writing the book, doing the things;
am only the jotter down of what they
say and do. I can't help being very
much interested in them
His sense of beauty, his love OF
beauty, his keen hunor, all contributed,
together with his strong attraction to
all that was lovable in the Hawaiian
character, to that book.
1t was a real treat to read proof
with him. even though he, sentimental,
would have to cry against cold fact.
His other book was prepared for
a school book of instruction and was
well received by the public.
DR.. Twombly's greatest literary eff
fort was perhaps the preparation of
the life of DR.. John Lord, the great
historical lecturer. at the request of
DR.. Lords family. when he was
instructor.
He made two valuable contributions
to the cause of Hawaii in the addresses
he made at Lake Mohonk. which are
printed in the reports of their meet
ings. He also spoke for the islands OF
which he was so fond, in private cir
cles, clubs and churches. He was ever
a firm friend to Hawaii and her people.

FIue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies tobacco Hunger

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and flue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called flue cured. In fiue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
iues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
Juicy fue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, flue cured tobaccos.
Virginia gazette. [volume] (Williamsburg, Va.) 1893-192?, 1907-03-02

Hundreds Of imitation brands are
on sale that look like SchnappS: the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco IS fiue cured, but the inside IS
filled with cheap. fimsy. heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco: enc
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews Of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this fue
cured tobacco. grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind.
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on Chewers. If the
kind of tobacco J0N are chewing don I
satisfy, more than the mere habit Ct
expectorating, stop footing yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco cncw-
ers. formerly bought costing from 75-
to $I.oo per pound; Schnapps Is sold
at soc. per pound in sc. cuts, strictly
10 and IS cent plugs.

TO TALK OF PUBLIC LAND
IMPORTANT CONVENTION TO
OPEN TUESDAY IN DENVER.
i,Under leadership Of Colorado and
ltC Wyoming, President Roosevelt's
Policy viii Be Condemned.

Denver, June 17.-Of far-reaching
importance will be the public lands
convention, which will meet at the
Broadway theater Tuesday morning
next, and will be in session for three
days. Informal discussions among
the delegates already on the ground
lead to the conclusion that President
Roosevelt's policies as to western
land and irrigation regulations will
be condemned by the convention in
a conservative, deliberate manner,
without mixing politics in the matter.
Two states win virtually dominate
the convention. They are Colorado
and Wyoming. OF the 1000 delegates
from the IA western states represent
ed, these two will have about 425,
and 80 per cent of these, 1t Is de-
clared, will be against the admins
trations policies with reference to the
public domain. Oregon, Idaho, Mon
tana and Washington, with nearly 200
delegates, will side in large measure
with Colorado and Wyoming.
The attendance of James f. Gar
field, secretary of the interior; R. A.
Ballinger, commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office; Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester; ID. A. Newell, director of the
reclamation service, and ]. A. Holmes,
of the geological survey, represent
ing the federal administration, is as
sured. '". IS ST..
Senator C. d. Clark, of Wyoming,
who fought the presidents land poll
cies on the floor Of the senate at
Washington, arrived here Saturday
night, He will take a leading part in
the deliberations of the convention.
There will be no politics in the
convention" said Senator Clark, Sun
day. THE questions to come up for
discussion and action are not politi-
cal. They have to do with the poll
cies of the president with reference
to his administration of the public
domain.
I'VE have had a good dose of
bureaucratic administration of the
public domain. Now it is time that
We swing back to the old mooring and
constitutional rights of the states.
am satisfied that the president wants
to do what is best for the country,
when he is advised of the true condi-
lions and the temper of the people
of the west. This is the one great
end that we are striving for.

EDDIE GUERIN SET FREE
NOTED CRIMINAL RELEASED BY
BRITISH COURT. E
Decision Is That Escaped DEVILS
Island Prisoner Cannot Be Ex- Z
~... tradited to France. =

London, June 15.-Should the de-
cision given in the divisional court
Friday by the lord chief justice, Lord
Alverstone, and two associates, hold
good, a British subject convicted of
crime in foreign country who es-
capes to British territory cannot be
extradited. The decision was given
in the case of Eddie" Guerin, who
escaped to the United States from
DEVILS island, then came to England,
where he was arrested and ordered to
be extradited to France by Bow
street extradition court magistrate.
Guerin formerly resided in Chicago,
where, he was twice convicted of
crimes, and went to France on his re-
lease. There he was sentenced to
penal servitude for life for bank
robbery in Paris and was sent to
DEVILS island. On numerous occa-
sions Guerin has been sent back to
America
The court decided that the extradi-
ton act did not apply to the case and
discharged the prisoner.
