Rolling Cigars.

1t is III to hear men complain
of poorly made cigars, but it is not
always because a cigar is in~diferently
or badly made that the wrapper curls
up and comes of. Much oftener this
comes from the cigar having been
rolled by a makers left hand and later
smoked from the hand OF a right
handed man. All cigarmakers must
use both hands equally we'll, and econ
omy both in time and material is the
prevailing rule in tobacco factories.
When a piece of tobacco is cut for the
wrapper il is cut on the bias and rolled
from left to right on the filler. and at
the same time and by the other hand
the remaining pieces are used, being
necessarily rolled III the. opposite way.
For this reason the man who holds a
cigar in his right hand. which always
gives Il few twists during the course
of a smoke. rubs the wrapper the
wrong way. aud easily enough it be-
comes Observation-Disclosures Tribune.

M"ARLBoR0uGH's NOTE.
A Scrap Of Paper Treasured by the
Great Dukes Heirs,


A scrap of paper that carries one
back to the very atmosphere Of a
great decisive battle in the worlds
history is among the historical treas
ures Of Blenheim House. On the pa
per are a dozen lines scrubbed in PEN
ell. They were written by the Duke
of Marlborough at the close of the
fierce struggle at Blenheim.
The tumult of battle was rolling
westward, where French and Bava-
rians were in disorderly retreat, with
Ma~rlborough's cavalry riding fercely
in their rear. The slopes of the hill
and the marshy plain were strewn
with 10000 killed and wounded.
But Marlborough, with the excite
ment Of the great fight yet strong
within him, pulled up his horse on one
of the little rustic bridges across the
Schwanbuch and scrubbed these doz.
en- lines to his wife in London to tell
her Of the great event.
Apparently the duke borrowed the
scrap Of paper from some member OF
his staff, for on the back <f it are the
faded items Of a tavern bill. He used
the parapet of the bridge for a writing
desk. He had been seventeen hours III
the saddle. most Of that time riding in
the very heart Of enc Of the greatest
battles in all history, Yet tho letters
are firm in shape, Il curious testimony
to that serenely unshakable tempera'
ment that was Marlborougla's most
striking characteristic. - New York

HIGHER WAGE REFUSAL
AFFECTS LAKE COUNTY
Negotiations Between Rail

Temporarily Ended.
ARBITRATION IS FAVORED
Erdman Act May be Invoked to Bring
About a Settlement of
Dispute.

A fiat refusal to grant uncondition-
ally an increase in wages to the Chi

Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen was
given on Saturday by the railroads in
volved in the dispute.

troversy operating in Lake county are
the Elgin. Joliet and Eastern; Erie;
Indiana Harbor. Monon, Wabash, Balti-
more and Ohio, Chicago Junction, Belt
Line Nickle Plate, Pennsylvania and
Grand Trunk. Nearly 1000 switchmen
in the Chicago terminal yards only are
involved in the present controversy.
The conference between the general
managers committee and the repre-
sentatives OF the switchmen held dur
ing the last two weeks terminated on
Saturday afternoon with an offer on
the part of the railroads to submit the
controversy to arbitration under the
Eidman ac
In final reply made by the switch
mems representatives 1t was stated
that the dispute has not yet reached
the point where it is necessary to in
woke mediation and arbitration The
result of the refusal of the roads, how
ever, will be the taking of a strike
vote.
Vice President F. A. Whitney of the
union after dispatching his final reply
to the proposition of the railroads, or
dered the referendum ballots printed
and made preparations for taking the
strike vote. Voting is said to have be-
gun yesterday and it is probable thai
all the return swill be in by tonight
or tomorrow.
The ballots are said to be so wordet
| that the men have an opportunity Il
vote either in favor OF a strike or fol
accepting the arbitration proposition
| of the railroads While there is som,
talk among the radical element in ia
vor of a strike, 1t was stated that
ma ioritE of the men viii take a. con
servative attitude and vote for accept
ing arbitration
The men demanded an increase of {
cent san hour over the present scales
which amounted to a raise OF about
80 per cent. In addition to wages, the
men demanded changes and modifca-
tions OF forty working rules 1t was
virtually established from the starr
of the conference that there would be
no wage increase granted.
Most of the time was taken up in dis
GUESSING the rules and working condi-
lions. Twenty-seven rules were ad-
justed by mutual concession, two more
were withdrawn by the men, and the
additional eleven rules remained in dis
pute at the termination of the con-
| ference.
