Cigars for King Edward.

King Edward has come forward
again to enrich American cigarmakers.
He ordered 1000 cigars two years ago
at cost of $4,000, but this time his
Smokes are to cost him proportion
ately more. The order is for 500, says
the Philadelphia Public Ledger, and
the cost will be $1,000. There is no
exaggeration as to the price or the ex-
pense incurred in the manufacture, -
said one we'll up on cigars. Three
thousand dollars was actually paid by
King Edward for 1000 cigars, and the
margin of profit even at that unprece-
denied price was exceedingly small
The manufacturer was eager to gain
the prestige of having served royalty
and went to extraordinary expense.
The cigars were eight inches in length
and at the thickest part in the middle
one inch in diameter They were
made of the finest Vuelta Abajo tobac-

Will have thin bands of gold on them,

The next day Maj. Sylvester re-

Boyle in turn forwarded the document:

After carefully reading the commu-
