total work of excavation done by the
French during their ten years of ac-
i've operation was S1.54S,O0O cubic

given time hasbcen steadily rising,
ana this is most encouraging fea-

on record, the 100000 cubic yard

Henry County ANTS" Will Hold
Another Meeting are Wil-h
ling to Compromise.

New Castle, KY, Feb. Mot salts
fled with the outcome of the great
mass-meeting of farmers held here on
last Monday TO discuss the tobacco
situation at which Judge BIZ. Hill and
State Equity President ]. Campbell
Cantrill held a joint debate a call has
been published for a meeting of strict
ly independent farmers or "antis" TO be
held here on Saturday, February %.
The call is signed by Thomas F. Jen-
kins son of Capt. Bart w. Jenkins and
is strongly Endorsed by Judge Hill, the
leader of the party that favors grow
ing a crop thisyear. 1t is thought
the proposed meeting will be even lar
ger than that of Monday. II is
proposed by some of the leading farm
ers, especially by former Representa-
tive H. X. Bourne, to commit the grow
ers to half-crop proposition. The
call of Mr.. Jenkins is as follows:
To the Citizens OF Henry county; l
believe 1t is the desire of four out of
five of the growers of Henry county
to grow tobacco this year. In justice
to all. think that we ought to meet
at New Castle, KY, Saturday Feebuu
at New Castle, KY, Saturday, Februu-
airy 22, and let the people who favor
no crop sign paper and then we can
intelligently ascertain the wishes of
all the persons who grow tobacco in
this country. think every precinct
should turn out and come to the coun-
tyseat and express their desire by
writing 1t on papr. l know it TO be
true that in two PRECINCTS of this coun-
ty more than nine-tenths want to grow
tobacco and should meet the appro-
baton of all the people-Society of
Equity and non-memDers of society
alike
Let us find out the will of the ma
jority. Let ue settle the matter in
peace and harmony.

Many of them strongly condemn the
practice and there are others. like Mrs
Chauncey M Depew, wife of the New
York Senator. who do not smoke but
always serve cigarettes to their wome
guests who have a taste for them.

in President Harrison's cabinet, is one
Of WashingtOn's charming hostesses
who never smoke.
'On recent visits to England" said
she, II noticed that womene smoked
during the dinner hour in the best
of hotels of London-in fact this prac-
tice seemed to be quite usual. Ten
years ago one never saw woman
smoke publicly in the London hotels
so l Judge from this that the fashion
must be spreading.
From my observation it seemed
that smoking among women had become
quite a vogue. l never observed smok
ing among members of a royalty, al
though they may do so in private.
While I attended many house-parties,
seldom saw ladies smoke. do not
think the Queen adheres to this fash
ion. During many weeks spent at The
Hague l saw no women smoke. The
fashion evidently is not followed there.
Whilst most of theolder women of
Mexico and Russia smoke it is mere
ly amatter OF education with them.
l observed the last time l visited these
counties a growing tendency among
the younger women to forego the
habit. They do not seem to care for
1t. Russia men and women smoke to-
gether after dinner. In France Italy
and Spain smoking is common among
women.
Il never smoke myself and do not
care for 1t. However, 1t is only a mat

twelve months there was excavated
along the line of the canal a total of
16,764.095 cubic yards. OF this amount
about 100000 cubic yards was re-
moved by steam shovcls,a and over A.
100000 cubic yards by dredges. The
greatest result, of course, were shown
in the Culebra division, from which
alone over 100000 chic yards was
takon out. Accordingto figures pub
lished in the Canal Record, when the
work wastakeH over by the Americans
from the French in May, 1904, it was
estimated that 57,600,OO cubic yards
would have to be removedfrom the
canal prism in the Culebra division
alone. At the close oflast year, of
that total amount 12.S0O,0O0 cubic
yards had been excavated leaving
44,S00,000 cubic yards still to be re-
moved. If the present rateof progress
can be kept up, this work should be
in less than five years.
The grand total Of all excavation, dry
and wet, inside and outside the canal
prism, completed since we took con-
troll, is 22,758,291 cubic yards, and

charming women who do smoke an
occasional cigarette
Congressman CLANCY, of Indiana,
has as a souvenir a Cannon cigar. A
day or Two ago Mr.. CLANCY drifted
into the Speakers room at the Capt.
tol. Uncle Joe was feeling fine as a
fiddle. He yanked out drawer of his
desk, pulled forth box of the Cannon
perfectos and handed one to MIR.
CLANCY. Mr.. CLANCY never smokes,
but he grabbed that cigar like a bass
grabs a minnow. When the session
ends hewill take it out to Indiana and
the Cannon cigar will be one of the
sights on exhibition in the town of
Sullivan.
The Cannon cigar bears every evil
dence on having been made for an
able-bodied man. 1t is half as long
again as the ordinary cigar, and is cor
respondingly large around the girth.
Encircling it is a brilliant and highly
artistic red band. Its complexion
suggests that it is about as strong as
Uncle Joe's language.
Its extraordinary size makes it one
of the most interesting cigars ever
worn in the face of man. Persons TO
whom Mr.. CLANCY exhibited his sam
pie Cannon cigar recalled an occasion
when the late Matthew Stanley Quay,
Senator from Pennsylvania, strolled
into the Senate with a cigar nearly
a foot long in his mouth. The distin-
guished boss had reached the sere
and yellow leaf, and his physician and
friends were trying to restrict his
smoking habit.
The folks in the galleries looked
down and Uttered but Quay never
cracked a smile. Finally one of the
Senators walked up to him and said:
Where in the world did you get
that cigar?"
MY doctor" replied the aged
Pennsylvania, has issued a strict or
der that | can smoke only one cigar a
day. That has left me without any
course except to have a cigar m ade
that will last me all day."
The Cannon cigar does not last
Uncle Joe all day. He recently be-
came very indignant because anEast-
ern paper, in describing his vices, said
that he smoked three cigars a day.
Three, hell" hestormed. "The man
who says l smoke only three cigars a
day is a candidate for President of the
Ananias Club"

cigarette HABIT
Many of the Smart Set Have
Adopted II.
Have a Cigarette" Is Almost as
Common as Have a Cup
of Tea"

Is it ladylike TO smoke cigarettes
asks a Washington dispatch.
This question is suggested by the
growing custom of women of the smart
set at the national capital who approve
cigarette smoking and who have ad-
opted the cigarette as an inseparable
accompaniment Of their social en-
tertainments for women exclusively.
The extent TO which the cigarette
habit has crept into high social cir
cles at Washington is indeed surpri-
sing. Many hosteesses who figure in
the society columns of the great ma
tional journals pass around the cork
tips after the refreshments have been
served at every afternoon function,
and the polite invitation. Have a
.cigarette?" is almost as common as
invitations to another cup of tea.
As a rule cigarette smoking among
the ladies of Washington's -four hum
dred" is confined to occasions when
gentlemen are not present. OF course
It is not true all, or nearly all, Of the
ladies of eminent social distinction
here are patrons Of the cigarette.

AQuisk OpsratIon.

The directors Of a great paper
factory at Essential, Germany,
in which American methods have
been introduced. have set a re-
markable record in cooperation
with a newspaper. At 7:35 in
the morning, three trees were
cut down in the woods surround
ing the factory and carried 10
the pulp mills, after having been
deprived Of their bark and bran
ches as fast as a score Of men
could work.
They were instantly trans
formed into paper. and at 9.34
the irst roll Of paper was ready.
The pressroom of the paper
was two miles Of, aud the paper
was rushed there in an automo-
bile with no loss Of time and i'm
mediately fed to the presses.
At 10 O'Clock sharp. the frst
copies were sold printed on paper
which two hours and twenty-five
minutes before had been waving
in the morning breezes.
