CIGARETTES In BRIAN.

Britain's cigarette industry Is of comparatively
recent growth. The pioneer OF ready-made cigar
cites in that country the late John TheOdoridt.
a Greek who at time served officer IN
the Russian army. He imported a staff Of cigar
ette makers from Odessa, and set up establish
ment in Leicester Square London, in 1861. All the
early cigarettes introduced by TheodoEidi had card
mopthpieces, fully an inch long; following an old
fashion still prevailing in Russia He afterward
produced a cigarette with one end turned in. but
without mouthpteCe. and this the hrst ap
proach to the present form OF cigarette. which.
however WAS not evolved until 1868. when another
Greek started shop in Regent street and sold
cigarettes as they are known now.
II was some time before plain cigarettes inter
eSted the public. When card mOuthpleceS went out
tips came into fashion. OF these many varieties
tried, including those made OF amber. tobacco
leaf silver. bronze and aluminium limitations. glass
and even silk tips rose leaf tips and violet Leaf
tips These all eClipsed by the gold tip which
came in about 1891 and still holds the field among
expensive cigarettes.
Virginia cigarettes were introduced I'm 1870. and

DEATH OF COL. COLE.

Sorrow reaches every home in Mary
land over the news of the death of Col
Henry A. Cole, the leader of the famous
Coles Cavalry during the war. He was
born in Frederick City. Md, in 1884,
and came from the sturdy, patriotic
stock of western Maryland which saved
the State to the Union. At the begin
ming of the war he was a Major in the
Maryland Militia, and at once began
raising a regiment for the Union. Gov.
Hicks, of Maryland, was at that time
in a very disturbed frame of mind be-
tween the determined advocates of the
Union and the ardent promoters of Sc
cession. Col. Cole at last succeeded in
getting him to accept company. with
himself as Captain. and as soon as ac-
tive operations began Capt. Cole and
his men were found invaluable from
their courage, enterprise and intimate
acquaintance with the region in which
the armies were moving. They pro-
tected the loyal citizens against the at
tacks of their enemies, drove disloyal
men from that section, and in every
way were highly useful. Soon the COM
pany was made a battalion, and after
its brilliant midnight battle of Loudon
Hights, Jan. 10, 1864, the battalion was
raised to regiment. with Henry A.
Cole as Colonel. After the war Col.
Cole went into business, and built a
large number of houses in Baltimore
In 1880 he was appointed in the U. S.
Internal Revenue Service, which posi-
ton he held at the time of his death.
COL Cole was as modest and kindly as
ne was brave, and thruout the State
every Marytander held him and his rec |
ord in loving pride.

GOV. cLEMENTss DEATH.

Comrade Isaac Clements, Governor
of the Soldiers Home at Danville, Ill,
is dead from Bright's disease He was
born in Franklin County. Ind, in 1897,
graduated from Asbury University in
1859, studied law at GreencastIe, and
moved to Illinois, where he taught
school until the outbreak of the war,
when he entered Co. G, 9Th H.. as
Second Lieutenant He served with
the regiment for over three years. was
wounded three times and promoted to
Captain. Returning home, he was ap-
pointed Register in Bankruptcy in June,
1867, and elected to Congress as a Re-
publican from the 18th Illinois District,
now the 25th- He was defeated for re-
election to the 44th Congress. He was
a soldier of great gaIlantry and citi-
zen of highest character.
The Danyille papers say that the
death of Gov Clements was felt as a
personal grief by every inmate of the
Home, as well as by all the citizens of
Danville. His administration of the
Home has been firm, efficient, but kind
1y and generous. His mind naturally
inclined to tenderness, and he accom-
plisheJ much more in all directions by
gentle firmness than other men could
by harsher methods. He is particularly
remembered in southern Illinois for his
splendid work for the Union at the out
break of trouble. He was at that time
young lawyer at Carbondale. and
there was a strong secession element
in southern Illinois which he fought
obstinately from the beginning He
was Douglas Democrat, who traversed

speeches. summoning his fellew-Demo-
Gratis to the support of the Government
He at once begar raising a company
for the 9th Ill, which he entered as
Second Lieutenant, and won all mis- pro-
motions by service in battle. He had
more wounds than promotions Among
other public service he was one of the
Commissioners TO locate, erect and op-
crate the Southern Illinois Penitentiary,
and served in this capacity for IL years
under Cows. Cullom, Oglesby and Fifer.
He resigned this to become U. S. PEN
sion Agent at Chicago, from which he /
was removed by President Cleveland
He had been Governor Of the Home for
10 years. and the development Of the
Home was his work.
