ANOTHER TRIP EAST.
Hicks Mallory, "Eiug of Them All,' Making Final Arrangements For Hardest Drumming Campaign
 in His Experience.

We saw letter this morning from Hicks Mallory, king of Them All, v cigar and tobacco salesman, to one of | his friends, dated at Louisville, Ken lucky, on tie 18th, stating that he was then on another eastern trip and would stop at Cincinnati, Columbus, Pittsburg, Philadelphia and New York, and leave New York for Tampa and Key West about February 18th, and on this trip would make contracts and get every little detail closed for his campaign of the hardest drum ming he has ever done in the good old State of Arkansas.
 As all contracts with both plug and cigar factories will be for quite a number of years each, and mean either his success or downfall, Hicks stated that he has to be very careful who lie signs with, and his decision will mean not only best quality, but goods adapted for Arkansas trade, and then too, live, up-todate factories must be considered as to their stand ing, and sufficient capital to do busi- Tcss on. ard probabilities of remain iug lu business.
 ! Hicks states that all large and im- portaut matters must be considered IS Well as factories that are able and will give datiu5s, etc, k why he had to make two trips His first trip GOV ered over s0e0 miles. As NIT. Mallory struck NeR 4erk at the time, and witnessed the sight of the run on the Lincoln aud knickef1ocker Trust Companies, he Sats he certainly hopes ] it will ae better this trip, as he left them | lafr. -iatlhE around like hens with the cholera.
 After Mallory : friend finished read ! ing the letter. he remarked incident |aliythat ifevery merchant felt ashe did ] the old boy would receive a big lot of complimentary orders on the first trip, as he considered him the best posted and most successful salesman that had ever travelled this territory, and that merchants appreciated salesman that is posted and up-to-date, as he could act as buyer and salesman. and we have heard that more firms would leave with Mr Mallory what to ship and how much, than all other sales man combined that called on them.
 Mallory wound up by saying that as soon as he returned. he would go with his wife and two little girls to Hot Springs where they will remain the better part Of the season, and he
 would then start on the road for tho year and would come here the frs, thing

WASHINGTON. - Restaurant keep
w ers who own cracked mugs must
not intrude them upon their patrons.
Dr. Wiley, Uncle Sans chemistry ex-
pert, says it is wrong.
The cracked mugs which have fallen
under the ban of DIR. Wiley are not
those known in some circles as badly
arranged faces or pounded visages.
They are rather the abused drinking
utensils which come bounding over
the counter at you when you enter a
hurry-up lunchery and hoist the cry:
"'Arf and 'arf," or draw one"
DR.. Wiley says the crack in an ordi-
nary mug doing daily duty in a lunch
room shelters enough bacill to put
the nation into decadence. Death of
a horrible sort turks in these cracks.
Show DIR. Wiley cracked mug - a
china mug-and he will lay bet that
you are dead man If the right ba.
cillus hustles out OF the crack and
bites you on the lip while you are
quaffing your daily beverage.

TT is the official view of Col. c. s.
Bromwell. the army engineer in
charge of the White House, that it will
be necessary for the American people
to spend $1,000 a week during the next
fiscal year to keep the home of the
president in a habitable condition.
This is the minimum of cost based on
conditions as they exist now.
Should the one time executive man
sion be turned into two apartment

about the figure set forth by the
