Smokes" for Ruler OF England Made
of Finest Tobacco.

New York.-The king of England
has placed with New York firm Of
tobacco brokers an order for 500
cigars, which. in point of price, will be
slightly ahead OF what the royal
smoker paid two years ago, when his
bill for 1000 cigars was $4,000. For
the 500 which are to be shipped from
Havana In time to reach England at
the beginning of the Easter holidays.
the price will be $1,000
There is no exaggeration as to the
price or the expense incurred" said e
manager of a local company.
The cost Of the first 1000 cigars
was actually $4,000, and the margin of
profit was exceedingly small, because
the manufacturer was eager to gain
the prestige OF having served royalty.
The cigars were eight inches in length

Swamp Swallows TrestI..

Winsted, Conn.-When workmen
employed by c. w. Blakeslee & Son
on trolley line from Woodbury., this
county, to Waterbury, arrived at a
swamp in Middlebury the other morn
ing, where they had quit operations
the night before, they found a tempo
rary trestle, with the tracks upon it,
missing. and trees on either side of
where the structure once stood lean
ing as If they would fall at any mo-
ment.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
the heavy timbers and everything that
rested upon them had been swallowed
up in the night Ten thousand cubic
feet OF fill which had been dumped into
the swamp had also disappeared.

dugout house well stocked with
smoked hams. preserves. and many
other good things to eat, Lewis Sadler.
miser and hermit, starved himself into
insanity. He is now in the state hos
pital in Massillon.
The other day his chattels were sold
on his farm near New Buffalo, this
county. The story that Sadler had
hidden away some s25 900 in gold coin
on his farm took hundreds of people
to the scene of the auction sale con-
Quoted by county officers.
Charles Whitmore of Garfield pur-
chased a bag of grain, paying for it
ten cents. No one bid against him.
He shook the bag and there was a
mysterious jingle inside. Hastily II
was opened and three glass jars which
were found to contain $2,175 in gold
were discovered. He at once turned
the money over to Sadler's guardian
who conducted the sale. This is
part of the hidden fortune. The rest
of the money is supposed to be
buried some place about the farm
and it may never be found, as there
are no hopes of Sadler recovering his
mind.

KINGS CIGARS ARE EXPENSIVE

and at the thickest part. in the middle,
one inch in diameter. They were
made of the finest Vuelta Abajo tobac-
co. Each leaf passed through the
hands of two selectors and 1t required
the examination of thousands of leaves
to obtain those that were uniform in
color, uniform in size and free from
large veins.
When the cigars were finished the
workmen received S5 cents for each
cigar. The names OF the guests were
lettered in gold leaf on the body of
these high-class smokes and each was
incased in a silken envelope The
thousand were packed in hermetically
sealed cedar boxes and shipped to

SUNDAY COMICS ARE BAD
SAYS A KINDERGARTNER

New Orleans, April IAN attack on the
comic supplements of Sunday newspapers
was made today before the International
kindergarten union by Miss Ella c. Elder
OF Buffalo. She said in part:
''The comic supplement is foe lurking
in the home; an insidious foe because 1t
is not recognized as foe. The schools
throughout the country are trying to
ouild UP in the childrens minds the right
idea of literature, of art and of ethics.
The schools are raising hundreds of dol
lars to buy pictures to adorn the school
rooms, because good pictures are recog-
nized as teachers of art and morals. This
is for five days in the week. And on
Sunday the parents by admitting the
comic supplement in the home undermine
the ideals so carefully built up during the
week So the campaign against the sup
rlement must be largely one of educating
the parents -

PEACH CROP OF GEORGIA
WILL BREAK THE RECORD

Atlanta, Ga, April 1.-(Special.)-A. M.
Kitchen, one of the most prominent or
chardmen of Northeast Georgia. passing
through Atlanta on his way to Florida,
expressed the opinion that Georgia would
have an extraordinary peach crop this
year.
Mr.. Kitchen has around Baldwin, in
Habersham county, on the Southern rail-
way, an orchard of 10000 trees. 1t is a
peach neighborhood and there are several
other orchards in that neighborhood of
nearly similar dimensions. 1t is the
Northeast Georgia peach section.
1.-The peach growers are beginning to
feel comparatively safe" Mr.. Kitchen
said. 1.-THE embryo fruit was so well
protected by the blossoms that there was
practically no injury from the cold
weather of a few days ago. In fact so
far as the crop outlook is concerned,
no damage whatever was done.
1.-The truth is we had rather have the
bad weather while the blooms are still
on the trees than after they have fallen
off, because they serve as a protection to
the young fruit. whereas when it is ex-

"The Road To Yesterday

An absolute novelty is the whimsical
comedy, 1.-The Road to Yesterday" with
Minnie Dupree and the entire original
cast, which viii be given at the jefferson
theatre tonight. The story begins in
London artists modern studio and the
characters are suddenly transported back
through three centuries as if by a touch
OF magic. Not even the curtain is dropped
during the first act, which witnesses this
astonishing shifting of the dramatic locale
and personages.. 1t is all accomplished
through a semi-mystical dream, and sud
denly the commonplace folk of modern
London find themselves to be swashbuek-
lers, lord and lady, ale-wife and tapster

There is plenty of lively fun, the COM

numbers, and the mounting is unusually
rich. William j. Mccarthy as the chef
keeps everybody laughing, while Clara

Mr.. Kitchen expresses the hope that
ultimately the Georgia fruit growers will
form that sort of an organization that
will result in a wise and judicious mar
keting of the crop.
Mr.. Kitchen thinks that ultimately the
California Canning association will en-
ter the Georgia territory. At his in
stance representatives of this organiza-
ton started to Georgia two years ago
to look into the situation here, but turn
ed back at New orleans on account of
the San Francisco earthquakes which de-
stroyed two of their valuable plants.
The establishment of such canneries as
this company operates costing from $780,
0oJ to $1oOOOO for each plant, would I'M
questionably be an important Industrial
development for Georgia. The company
not only cans fruit but all sorts of vegeta-
bles for which they pay good prices.
There is no doubt that the coming OF
such plants would prove a great slim
illus to vegetable growing.
