TOURISTS IN CUBA.

Consul General James L. Rodgers re-
ports that the detail of the United
States customs inspectors at Havana
to examine the baggage of passengers
proceeding to Florida ports has given
the first satisfactory basis for estimate
of the volume of the winter tourist in,
vasion of Cuba. He also writes of the
benefits derived:
been over 1000 examinations of bag.
gage since January /, and of that
number it is safe to assume that at
least 5000 dealt with the effects of
transient Americans. Adding to the
tourists coming and departing by the
way of Florida the number of 500 week
ly from New York and New Orleans,
and it can be estimated that Cuba de-
rived benefit from 10000 visitors during
the last winter season to March l.
"Just what this means financially to
Cuba, and especially to Havana, it is
impossible, of course, to state, but cur
rent opinion is to the effect that the
average tourist spends about $15 day,
and that the average sojurn is about
four days. If such is anywhere near
the fact, then it can be seen that the
10000 tourists have left 100000 in
Cuba, and during the first two weeks
of March there was probably an ex-
penditure of a proportionate amount,
making total of $4,000. This is
very much less than the usual estimate
of the money expended, but as there
is likely to be gross exaggeratioa in
such matters, it is probably not much
of an underestimate, if so at all.

Large sums If money are no

ulation, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business-where the goods
furnished are worth the price

millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract or engagement they en-
joy the confidence of the public
and command a class of trade
that is refused to unstable or
tricky competitors. In the long
run it does not pay to c>.eat or
deceive others. A humbug may
be advertised with noise like
the blowing of a thousand trum-
pets, but it is soon detected and
