Mobile. May Especial. 1.-The dull
ness and dreariness of the weather to-
day met it's answering reflection In So
ciety. If there was anything OF real
moment in the entertaining line 1t was
thickly yelled from the society reporter
Ii was a day though when those of
the Blue Stocking persuasion and the
ambitious for brain culture had an
inning instead of those who only care
to deal with kings and queens.
The Chautauqua Circle, notwithstand-
ing the gloom, had very cheerful
meeting at the residence OF Mrs. ii. H.
Duffee this afternoon.
The program was particularly inter-
esting as 1t pertained to England.
There were quizzes on Rational Living
and duizzes on Thomas Carlisle as
literary leader. There was, too, an IN
teresting tourney from the May Chau-
tauqua taken by all present through the
counties of the Severn Valley.
One of the interesting customs of this
club IL to reply to the roll call by CIV
ing some current event. This after
noon these events pertained to England.

always philanthropic in its aims, was

When you smoke a cigar you want
a good one. A poor cigar is rank
abomination and stencil in your cwn

within smelling distance,
The trouble with most Of us is to
find cigar with rich, satisfying aroma

paying an exorbitant price for it. 1t
remained for Frank p. Lewis Of
Peoria. H., TO solve the problem for
us. His Lewis Single Binder sc cigar
is without doubt the peer Of any brand
Of 10c cigars on the market The
Lewis Single Binder cigar is wrapped
in tinfoil and reaches the smoker as

ated solely on the high quality Of the

cepts. Last year, knowing that the
station was soon to be completed, the
street railroad officials asked for q
right Of way to the new station. The
committee was ready enough to grant
It, but the officials of one traction com
pany objected to something which the
officials of the other company wanted.
and as a result OF the fight action was
postponed for year, and now Wash-

The street car companies are out a
lot Of nickels, the citizens are disgust

will be that the objecting company
will gain nothing. for the point which

the ground plan has been laid for fu-
