Tobacco and Tin Foil.

General Winfield Scott was RESPONSE
BILE for tin foil being wrapped around
tobacco. That fact came out In the
legal contest over the will of the &C.
centric millionaire tobacco dealer, John
Anderson. Early in the forties of the
last century Mr.. Anderson kept pop
ular cigar store on Broadway. Felix
McClosky, for many years the tobac-
conist's salaried companion and agent,
testified that ..one day, in 1843 he
thought, General Scott came into the
store and asked Anderson If he
couldn't devise some. way of keeping
tobacco so it would not be affected by
age and changes in climates. Ander-
son thought about it and shortly after
hit upon the plan Of wrapping cigars
and chewing tobacco III tin foil, there
by keeping the tobacco moist for a
long time. His tin foil covers became
popular, and his preserved tobacco was
much in demand during the Mexican
war and the California gold rush..
swelling his business to enormous pro-
portions and soon making him multi.
millionaire.

The PLAYS Mixed,

During one Of his tours in this coun-
try, when the late Sir Henry Irving
was playing "Twelfth Night in New
York, he revealed observation-disclosures
and greatly amused the members of
his company and the audience. As
Malyolio he was expressing surprise
at remark of Sir Toby.
"Do you know what you say?" he
asked. .. =
To his surprise, roar Of laughter
echoed through the house, and his
stage associates were convulsed.
He repeated the line, putting undue
emphasis on the pronoun, and again
the audience shouted with laughter.
It was not until after the perform
ance he learned that quite unconscious
ly he had been parodying the well
known words Of "The Private Secre-
tary." His only explanation was that
it was done in bit of forgetfulness
while thinking of the other play

COURT OVERRULES DEMURRER
Answer of Treasury Officials Is Held
Sufficient Defense.

Justice Barnard, in Circuit Court No .,
has overruied the demurrer of Attor
neys Wiley o. Cox and Edward Scarritt
the Secretary of the Treasury and the
treasurer of the United States to the suit
for mandamus brought to compel the de-
PENDANTS to issue warrants in payment
of a claim for services rendered as attor-
neys tothe eastern Cherokees.
In July, 1886, these attorneys were paid
$96.340.7 q. being per cent of the amount
of judgment ofthe Court of Claims and
interest as reckOned to the date of such
payment. AS the Indians were not set
tied with until after the roll of the tribe
was completed. March 10, 1910, the attor-
neys claimed their share of the additional
interest accrued from 1906 to March, 1910
The officials in their answer averred
that the attorneys had been settled with
in full, and the Court of Claims, which
was authorized 20 TX The amount of the
fees, had twice construed it's decree
authorizing payments i'm 1896 to be a full
settlement of the attorneys claims for
services, and further that the Court of
Claims, the only tribunal authorized to
determine the matter had so determined
and the District Supreme Court lacked
Jurisdiction to review.
The attorneys in their demurrer urged
that the answer of the Treasury officials
did not set up a valid defense. After
argument the court Overruled the de-
murrer, but gave the attorneys leave to
plead further as they may be advised.
Assistant United States Attorney Huide-
koper appeared for the officials, and At
torneys Ralston. Siddons & Richardson
for the st. Louis attorneys.

IN FEAR OF BULLETS.
Oxon Hill, Nd, Residents Want
Rifle Range Abolished.

Citizens of Oxon Hill. Md. near the
District line, il is reported, have ap-
pealed TO Gov. Crothers of Maryland to
stop the firing on the rife range of the
District National Guard at Congress
Heights. d. c. Oficers of the National
Guard are at a loss TO understand what
authority the Governor OF Maryland can
have over rifle range in the District
of Columbia. They declare there has
been no carelessness on the part OF
guardsmen who fire on the range, and,
remembering that persistent protests on
slight grounds resulted in the removal
of the District range from McGruder Sta
ton. Md, to its present location. at a
great loss of time and expense to the
National Guard. they say they resent
the new interference. which they claim
savors of persecution, on the part of
Maryland residents.
The petition. 1t Is said. claims that
residents OF OSon Hill. Md, take their
lives in their hands in leaving their
homes while the firing Is In progress.
AS result OF numerous stray bullets,
the petition further AYERS, real estate
Is depreciating In value. The petitioners
express indignation at what they term
the Indifference OF National Guard OIL
