Changed His Mind.

A gentleman who once served on an
Irish jury tells an amusing story of his
experiences. When the hearing was
over and the jury retired to their room
to consider their verdict they found
that they stood eleven to one In favor
of an acquittal, but the one happened
to be Il very complacent old gentleman
who rested his chin upon the head of a
thick bamboo cane and announced de-
family that he was ready to stay there
as long as any of them.
The hours dragged on, evening. ar
rived. and the old gentleman obstinate.
~ held out. The other Jurors YEARLY
arranged themselves to make a night of
it. From time to time the old gentle
man would contemplatively suck the
head of the cane.
Finally he fell asleep. and the cane
dropped heavily to the floor. Then one
of the iurymen picked it up and found,
to his surprise. that it was nearly full
of Irish whisky. The eleven passed
the cane round. relieved 1t of its con,
tents and then awakened its slumber
ing owner. Slowly he lifted the cane
to his mouth. looked at his watch and
then arose with the announcement

A visitor at seaside resort in Eng

cliff 400 feet high the figure of wo-
man. She was seated in q kind of
chair arrangement suspended by ropes
from above and she carried pointed
pole to steer herself clear of the jag

slung across her back. The air was
full of gulls. evidently much disturbed

SCORING FOR SOCIETY
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish Roundly Condemns Its Methods
Predicts Change Soon.

Mrs. St,tyvesant Fish, wife of the
former president of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad and for many years one
of the bright particular stars in the
social armament at Newport and in
New York, recently made q startling
statement condemning present Gay so
ciety and its methods and declaring
that some change will come soon.
Mrs Fish remarks at the beginning
that real hospitality is kindness and
that If there was little more kindli
ness in New York society there would
be more hospitality. She says she
doesn't want people to come to her
house because they give her things,
but because she likes them.
ITO be rich alone is not enough"
says Mrs. Fish. She says many rich
people are dull. while plenty of people
have brains and money both. and
these people, says Mrs. Fish. must not
be barred. She predicts that the time
will come when brains will count more
than money and. adds that money is
running Newport now. She thinks 1t

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Sept. Is. 1908.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Sept. Is, 1908.
The buying movement of the new crop
seems to be quieting down and outside
of the Vernon county section but little
riding is being done at present. When
contracts are being entered into prices
previously quoted are maintained. The
harvest is now so we'll along that the
present week will see the great bulk of
the crop secured, but there are some late
fields that are destined to invite the
frost. The shielded tobacco has cured
down very rapidly this season, but until
casing weather arrives it is difficult to
say what the merits are. Packers report
a somewhat better inquiry for old leaf
and few fair sized transactions have
taken place during the week. A 550cs
packing of '06 has been sold by the Gary
Tobacco Co. for the account of the
United Cigar Manufacturers Co. G. F.
Mabbett closed out the last of his '06
packing, 325cs, to eastern parties. R. L.
Page also sold Goes to L. p. Sutter &
Bro. Sampling of OF is going on quite
generally and we regret to learn that
more damage is encountered than was
anticipated, mostly white mold.
The shipments out of storage reach
680cs for the week from this market to
all points.

New YORK. Sept II, 1908.
The furry caused in the market by
the Western buyers was but brief-lived
and seems besides to have made itself
unevenly felt. It was a squirt Of activity
that did some good, while it left others
absolutely unaffected. 1t is generally
conceded that the market is not in the
active condition it should be at this sea-
son even discarding booms. Some trad
ing is going on but not in quantities that
would presage return to normal con-
ditions. There is a total absence of any
and all speculative investments. People
buy stock because they have to and not
because they wish to secure themselves
for future emergencies. In other words,
it is hand-to- mouth trading to which
the market has not become accustomed
at the opening of the fall season. Com
plants of dullness have therefore be-
come almost general and evidences are
not lacking that the market is beginning
to feel the pinch. But soberly consider
ed the situation is not strange one.
For the tobacco trade is the last to feel
the effects of general panic and the
last also to recover. This is but COM
mon experience. If the older members
of the trade would reflect but while,
they would remember that the year of
the previous panic, namely, 1898, was
very fair one for the trade, that the mar
ket became pinched only in 1894 from
the effects of the panic and that it was
only in 1898 that normal conditions we're
restored to be followed Immediately by
the extraordinary boon that lasted up
to the threshold of the panic of 1907 Ii
complaints are heard now that the mar
ket is worse than it was last year at the
beginning of the panic period, it is but
confirmation of the common experience
that the disturbances of any economic
upheaval are being felt later by the to-
bacco than by any other trade. Natur.
ally then the recovery is coming later,
too. In the meantime patience will have
to be exercised. The market will not
and can not remain successively dali
from week to week, because the cigar in
dustry is still expansive enough to re-
quire tremendous supply of leaf, only
this supply will be called for homeo-
pathically instead of in wholesome guam
titles And while the aggregate of
transactions will at the end of the year
not fall far below the normal the piece

dency of price haggling is naturally dis

Probably 80 per cent. of the new crop
has been cut, and cutting is going on
rapidly Some of the crops will not be
ready for cutting before almost the end
of the month. The new crop is expected
to be about on par as to quality and
number of cases with the crop of 1907
