IF the worlds tobacco crop OF 1907
were equally distributed among the
men, women and children of the
earth there would be something under
two pounds for each person" says the
New York Herald. What a kick there
would be coming from the habitual
tobacco user who easily consumes
forty or fifty pounds of the weed in
twelve months, if all but two pounds
of his annual allowance should be be
slowed on respectable women and
children whose only use for the nico
tine would be to keep moths out OF
their furs and kill the plant lice Oh
their house plants.

AS a further proof of the oft stated
fact that public confidence is worth
more than money comes the request
from an Italian statesman that news
papers of friendly nations will do
what they can to allay the nervous
ness of the travelling public lest an
other earthquake may occur at any
time. The sums spent by tourists in
Italian cities form an important part
of their revenues and if travellers get
the impression that the danger of
earthquake is ever present and stay
away it will be a continuous calamity.

Secretary of States Note Re-

HAS SENT SPECIAL AGENTS
Emissarles of Nicaraauan Dictator
Will Endeavor to Win Favor
of Congress

Washington, Dec. president Eel
ava has not only refused to take Off
cial cognizance of Secretary Knox's
note, which was practically an ulti-
matum, but he is declared to have
dispatched special agents to Wash
ington to endeayor to have the state
departments ultiWatum set aside,
first by appeals to the department,
and. secondly, by direct appeals TO
members of Congress. The state de-
partment is entirely aware of the
presence and identity of these ennis
saries. While they are being watch
ed in a general way, the United
States is maintaining over them
nothing that could be construed as
espionage
In addition to this, it was reported
that any attempt that Zelaya might
make to escape from the country
would receive the direct and vigor-
GUS attention of the American war
ships now lying OFF the coast of Mica
ragua. Secretary Knox's note init
mated in the plainest language that
the state department looks upon Eel
ava as the man responsible for the
torture and death of the two Ameri-
cans, Groce and Cannon.

New York, Dec. 4.-The Jeffries-

championship of the world will be
fought either in Salt Lake City, Utah
or in the vicinity of San Francisco on
July next Final arrangements for
a forty-five round contest were sign
ed by the principals yesterday in a
hotel in Hoboken, N. j.
Neither of the contestants, accord
ing to the articles, is to engage in
any boxing contest before the date of
the big fight. This effectively elimi-
mates the possibility of Johnson meet
ing Langford or Jefferies fighting
Kaufman between now and then. Both
II is further stipulated, must enter
active training at least ninety days
before the fight Five ounce gloves
are to be used, and the contest to be
governed by straight Marquis of
Queensberry rules, while the referee
is to be selected at least sixty days
before the contest
If Jeffriees, Johnson and Tex Rick
ard and John J. Gleason-the two
last named the successful bidders
cannot agree on a referee, Jeff and
Johnson are each to select two men
and from these four Richard and
Gleason are to make any selection
they desire The referee is to be paid
$1,000, the contestants paying him
two-thirds, the promoters the bal
ance.
Jeffries and Johnson have each de-
posted $4,000 as a forfeit TO the

posted 100000 to stand as a forfeit
in case they fail TO stage the fight,
and to apply on the purse OF 100000

LOWER GAS IN NORTH ADAMS
Net Price After January Will Be
$1.05 a Thousand.

S1.05 a Thousand.
Beginning January /. 1910. the
North Adams Gas Light company will
reduce its rates for gas. the new net
rate being $1.05.
The new schedule of the company
establishes a uniform rate for gas
consumption for all purposes. This
rate is S1.20 gross per 1000 cubic
feet less a discount of Is cents per
1000 cubic feet if bills are paid be-
fore the 10th of the month in which
they are rendered. The present rate
is on the graded scale, the consumer
using gas for lighting paying Sl.35
net with somewhat lower price
where gas is used as fuel.
The new rate therefore will save
the consumer for lighting purposes
30 cents per 100 cubic feet which
brings the rate to the lowest in force
in any city of similar size in the
commonwealth.
Another feature of the new sche-
dule is that the company will make
a minimum charge of so cents per
month provided gas to that amount
is not used; the propriety of this ar
rangement being recognized by the
statutes Of the commonwealth and
generally adopted. This minimum
charge will not be made where the
consumer has used gas aggregating
an amount more than 81 during the
year.
1t is understood that the company
will issue reduced schedule also for
electric light and power in the near
future to take effect January l.

denied a rehearing of his appeal to
