 One does not care to have ones tears analysed like patent food or medicine and to associate them with chemical substances. but we are noth- ing If not practical nowadays, and ev- cry shred of romance. poetry and senti- ment is remorselessly wrenched from us for scientific purposes.
 A French journal devoted to nnatters of this kind has been telling us not only of what tears are composed. but exactly the effect that Is produced on brain and body when we shed them.
 So henceforth when we read that the heroine's beautiful eyes were suffused with tears" that ''in moment she was weeping passlonateiy on his shoul der" we shall know that by a kind of shower bath arrangement mixture of albuminoid, water and chemical sub stances was let loose at the back of her skull. thus dulling the nerve centers and really giving her relief.
 However. 1t does not sound romantic. and mere man is likely to imagine that the fair one Is really suffering doubly when all this happens.-Gentlewoman.

MOHAvE COUNTS
 RICH GOLD. MINE
LARGE CAPITAL BEING INVESTED IN DEVELOPMENT AND EQUIP
 MENT OF PROPERTIES

This winter promises to be one of the most remarkable in the annals of min ing in K:ngman county on account of the large amount of money that is to be invested in gold and other mines throughout the. confines of the county, says the Kingman Miner.
 The knowledge that Mohave is one of the greatest gold mining sections of the territory is not confined to the ter. ritory alone, but the people of the United States aO becoming so imbued with it that little difficulty is now had in interesting investors in the mines. Wherever you may be the big bars now being sent out from the Tom Reed are being discussed and are conclusive that Mohave has a great future as a gold producer.
 When tho new mill of the Gold Road M. & E. company is put in commission the output of bullion will surprise the territory. The great bodies of ore that have been opened up in the mines since the shutdown of the mill one year ago are revelations to the directors of the company. On every level orc bodies heretofore unknown have been opened up and will prdouee heavily. All the ores are of higher grade than that formerly taken from the mine. So far as known the general average will be above S20 to the ton. The new mill will have capacity of about 300 tons daily, which will give a monthly bull lion output of over $l70,000, or more than $2,O0o.00o yearly. The mines are to be electrically equipped and every thing in and about the property is to be run with power transmitted from the big plant at Kingman.

LODGING THE SPEAKER.
One of the First Cases of Fiiibustsrino
 In Congress.

In Congress.
 OLe of Ghe first instances of filibus- tering occurred In 1895 just after the Impeachment trial of the Hon. Samuel Chase. one of the associate justices of the supreme court. A quarrel arose over the payment of witnesses. The house of representatives would pass no bill which provided for the payment of those summoned by Chase. The senate would pass no bill which dit not. and conference followed. Each refused to yield. and the bill was lost.
 John Randolph then attempted in the closing hours of the session to have the witnesses for the managers of the trial paid out of the contingent fund of the house. But the FederaliGts were ready. They hurried from the room. and when the vote was taken the speaker announced no quorum Members were thereupon summone:. from the lobby and committee rooms Hardly were they In their seats when a message from the president was an- nounced. and while the clerk was read ing it the Federalists again left the room. SO that when the resolution was n second time called up there was again no quorum. Once more the ser geant at arms went into the lobby. and once more the members came in. Put au enrolled bill was reported. and while the speaker was signing 1t the Federalists third time slipped out. The announcement of no quorum which followed was greeted with shouts of laughter Randolph in a great passion desisted. and late on the evening of Sunday. March 3. 1905, tho Eighth congress ended.--Baltimore American.

Miss Williams, With Greater Number of New Subscribers, Captures 5000
 Premium For Week 4 gain
MRS. FRYER IN LEAD.

Mrs. Geneva Fryer, with gain of more than 50,ooo votes cast yesterday, leads the contest this morning, and has the proud distinction of receiving the heaviest vote cast for candidate in a single day.
 Miss Millie Williams succeeded in scoring fifty-fve points, is in second po- sition, and is the happy winner of the 5000 premium vote, having secured the greatest number of new subscribers. Miss Dollie Armstrong received a very heavy vote and is in third position. She made score of thirteen points in the Phoenix contest. In justice to Miss Dollie it is stated that owing to sick ness she was unable to put ir but one days work this week, but her friends did not forsake her, and she is hold ing strong in third position. Miss Mil dred voris, the child candidate, made 8 handsome gain during the week and succeeded in scoring seven points. She received a tremendous coupon vote, in fact, the largest cast by any candi. date in a single week. The advance ment of Mrs Fryer to leading position WAS unexpected by the Contest Editor. It was known that she had large re- servo vote and her friends promised to east it several days ago, but for some reason it was withheld. There is an- other candidate in the light figures this morning who is holding out vote almost as largo as the Fryer vote, which will perhaps be cast during the present week. Miss Williams has adopted the right tactics. She is in the field for new subscribers, and by her energy has added many thousands to her total in securing the premium vote. She scores we'll every week and will certain ly be with the leaders at the close of the contest.
 The struggle for the Phoenix trip will be decided with the count of next Sat urdsy morning. Misses Williams, Arm. strong and Voris are the only contest ants scoring in this controversy, so far. Miss Williams has 95 points still to make, Miss Armstrong l37 and Miss Voris l43. These ladies should be able to win this trip. It is not beyond the reach of any of the contestants, and the Silver Belt hopes to be able to send at least six young ladies to the fair.
 This week the Contest Editor will pay the usual premium of 5000 votes to the candidate who makes. the great est number of new subscription points. The candidates should work hard-not only for the premium vote, but for the Phoenix trip. Remember all expenses will be paid, and a good time given the successful candidates no matter what the expense may be. Here's hop ing m even dozen win this trip and three days of pleasure.

The tobacco crop is practically all
housed, and as indicated in former is
sues. growers are confident they have
one OF the best crops of best quality that
has beer known in years. While little
damage resulted through hail. it was in
restricted sections, and the crop as a
whole for all New England is far above
the average.
In both Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut the reports to The New England
Homestead indicate very satisfactory
cure. Weather conditions have been
favorable to fine quality of leaf, SO
much desired by growers and buyers
alike. The harvest was early this year,
so the reports anent curing TO date have
the.m0re significance.
Not much is heard concerning sales,
although growers are free to say they
are not going to give their crops away

NEW YORK. Sept. 16. 1908

While it is true that in the local mar
ket very little business has been done
recently, there is a better sentiment
among the dealers in general. For the
first time since the panic of last year the
situation is such that ali the larger deal
ers are in position to make large trades
and the jobbers are in position to buy
heavily There is at present deadlock
in prices, there being about half a cent
pound difference In price between
what the jobbers are willing to pay and
what the packers are willing to take.
This applies to all types of the 1907 crop.
AS the situation clears up little, con-
cession will be made by either one side
or the other, and the present circum-
stances of the trade at large give good
reason for believing that this will hap
pen before very long, and that within a
short while transactions of good size will
be reported. The fact that both sides
are in position to trade heavily is dis
tinct change for the better from the Oon-
ditions that have prevailed for long
time, and it is distinct relief from the
petty hand to-mouth style of business
that has prevailed in local leaf circles
for long time past.-Leaf.

NEW TURK, D0pI. Id lSUo.
The leaf market passed through a
week of ordinary routine business. There
was no hustle and no hurry, but quiet,
steady demand was prevailing for nearly
all types of leaf. Sampling has started
in of the Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
and the latter discioses the fact that
there is even less available suitable
proportion of binders in it than was dn-
ticipated.< Buyers have, therefore, di-
rected their attention more to the 1906
crop than they have done for many
months past, and they do SO not ostenta-
tiously butin quiet way, making it ap-
pear to be merely tentative effort. or
course, the price that the spectators IN
that crop gambled on will never be real
lied, but AS the binder condition is now
it looks as If the losses would be toned
down considerably. The 1907 Pennsyl-
vanla turns out to be d very heavy
bodied leaf. It will probably need ad-
mixtures of lighter B's from other types
to make it thoroughly serviceable, but it
has been packed at reasonable figures
and it is now sure to be disposed of at
profit for both the packer and manufac-
turer. In Sumatra a little livelier trad
ing is taking place. OF last years wrap
per crops for the bulk of our cigar indus
tryESumatra still remains the most avail
able one, and as the new importations
give satisfaction both as to quality, tex
ture, color, yield and price, they are
bound to have easy sailing even in some
what slack times AS for the Havana,
manufacturers ara most eager to get
hold of the new crop The Vueltas have
turned out relatively superior to those
of the past two years. But it would be
self-deceit to boom it up as one of the
most aromatic crops ever raised. They
are of pleasant taste and will make
just the light smoke the public, as a
rule, is craving for. They are just fit for
clear Havana cigar and they will no
doubt help to boom up again the clear
Havana cigar industry. But they ap-
pear to be too light for saed and Ha-
yana cigar and for this type the Rene
dios will again be the ruling passion.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, Wis. Sept. %, 1905
The buying movement, which for the
past few weeks was tagging, shows some
indications of returning activity. The big
operators, notably the American Cigar
Co. and the United, are sending their men
into the field in all sections and it will
be disappointing if matters don't liven
up again. The sale of two crops on Al
bion Prairie, those of Leonard and Ho.
ratio Marsden, 10 acres, is reported a!
figures close to 10 cents. In the north.
ern sections considerable contracting is
reported around these figures.
L More activity is noted in old leaf, even
though packers are still accepting losses
on transactions. About 500 cases of O5
to '07 has been sold by N. e. Mel
son for the account of the United
Cigar Manufacturers Co. The small
packing of 06 of Austin Holton & Co. at
Whitehall has been sold to GAINESVILLE
firm. Sam Marsden sold 27cs of '06 to
L. p. Sutter. Henreich NeWberger and
August Kocn, representing export firms,
have been in the state during the week
and have succeeded in picking up few
hundred cases suitable for their trade.
The harvest of the new crop is prac-
tically completed but the hot, dry
weather prevailing since the tobacco was
shielded is not conducive to the best
cure.
The shipments out of storage reach
800 cases from this market to all points
for the week.

hANCAoInn, L As sJcD III, IOOC.
Trading in old tobacco in the local
market is Enthusiastically dull, and the
only sale of consequence the past week
was the packing of G. w. Smith & Co,
500 cases of 1907 goods. The fact that
there was so little trading in 1906 goods,
none of which went In lots Of any
amount, is evidence of the slack condi-
tion of the cigar trade. Plenty of
factories are running short-handed and
on short time, because orders are so
scarce and collections haru lnan,-
goods sold. There are plerfs 81 fae
les which are only kept rnnaIng because
the operators are doing shat they can
to help their employees and keep them
together.
Probably 25 per cent. ~ the new crop
is yet standing, and hal; II this will be
cut this week. Much u the balance
will not be under cover before the end
of the month. The past week, which
was SO dry, was good for the tobacco al
ready in the sheds, for there is no pole
burn in dry weather, but it was bad
weather for the tobacco in the fields

this season. Down in West Suffield, CT,
they are taking % cents a pound. The
usual tactics of some buyers in playing
a waiting game, picking up those crops
that by reason of financial straits are
forced into the market, are expected,
more or less. But the forehanded and
progressive grower has learned the game
and is ready to meet the Greek on his

ure on the bulk of tobacco as a Thanks

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES



The harvest of another crop is prac-
tically over. What there is left in the
fields in the drouth stricken districts is
small under sized leaf that can scarcely
yield better than filler stock. October
first is near at hand and no killing frosts
have occurred to mark vegetation. The
tobacco has gone into the sheds in ex-
cellent condition SO far as soundness
goes and growers have been able to pro-
ceed with their work without any inter
ruption or account of bad weather. The
drouth, however, has been the great
drawback to securing the average size
OF leaf and the yield must be much less
than the usual Wisconsin crop. A hot,
dry September, it is feared, is curing
down the shielded tobacco much faster
than is good for high class binder leaf
and much uneven color is expected,
though fair estimate of the crop can
not be made until the tobacco comes into
and out of case e few times. We shall
know more of its real quality after sea-
son Of fall rains which are due soon.
~
The September Crop Reporter, issued
by the Agricultural Department, con-
tains table showing the condition of
the tobacco crop in the various states
and gives the average condition of the
growing crop in the United States as
843 per cent, an improvement of 1.8 per
cent over the condition prevailing on
September /, 1907, and 1.5 per cent. in
ferior to the condition on August 1st of
the current year. The drouth, which
has prevailed in many sections, is held
largely responsible for the deterioration
in the condition of the tobacco crop dur
ing the month of August.

To be beaten by the admitted worst
team In the league Is not adding glory
to the achievements of the Champions
this season, but then 1t probably is
one of the freaks of the game that 1t
must be so. 1t was no freak luck that
enabled Oakland to win yesterday,
however, as the cellar champs would
have won anyway, but 1t Is probable
that the multiplicity of errors In the
eighth inning started things to going
just right for the visitors.
Not q run was scored until the
eighth, when Oakland put three over
the pan. They repeated the perform
ance in the ninth. while the best the
Angels could do was to score one lonely
tally in the ninth, Just enough to pre-
vent the humiliation of a shutout and
criticism for a severe form reversal.
In the eighth Mckay was safe on
Howard's tumble. Cook hunted to
Smith, who threw wide to Howard at
second. Lewis was hit by a pitched
ball, filling the bases. Brlswalter set
tied down briefly and famed Nelson.
Van Haltren went the Howard Bernard
route, Mckay scoring meantime. Trues-
dale from Texas tripled to right and
Cook and Lewis scored.
The ninth was less filled with err
rors, but yielded another trio of runs
for the visitors. Heitmuller doubled
to left. Egan doubled to right, scoring

and Egan scored. Cook few to Oakes.
