LIGHT CIGARS
NOT MILDEST
AS Is the General Opinion of Very
Nearly All Smokers But is Con-
tradicted by Experts.

Probably there is not one smoker
in a thousand who is not surprised
and in fact, incredulous, when he is
told that the color of cigar is abb
solutely no guide to its strength. Yet
such is the case, and a fact we'll
known to cigar manufacturers and i'm
norters. The belief of smokers that
cigars of dark color are strong and
those of lighter shade are milder, is,
in point of fact. as fallacious as it Is
general. This is but one of many de-
lusions harhored by consumers of
tobacco, and which practical cigar
men have smiled at and INDUCED from
time immemorial.
But of recent years the inclination
of smokers toward light-hued cigars
has assumed the proportions of a
craze" and the producers are find
ing much difficulty in meeting the de.
mand. The manufacturers and Cuban
tobacco raisers would now gladly cor
rect the error; but after aaving care
fully classified their products under
the style of claros, colorados, madu-
res, etc, for decades. they find it next
to impossible to dispel the delusion
A maker of Havana cigars uses but
one grade or blend of tobacco in the
body or filler of his cigars. Exactly
tie same stock is used in his Conchas
as in his Perfectos; in his claros as
in his maduros. After the cigars are
made, however, his "selector' takes

Two Structures Wiped Out by the
Fire Last Evening When Fire
Was Suddenly Started
in the Paint Room.
MACHINERY SUFFERED
kes House and kes Store Room
Burned to Ground-Three Work
men, Hemmed in, Escaped
From Being Burned.

Two structures at the powder works
were completely wiped out by con-
fagration shortly before o'clock last
evening, entailing loss to the COM
any of several thousand dollars.
The fire started in the key house in
rather peculiar manner Three men
were at work at the time, but all
escaped unburned. They were clean
ing UP the paint room after the days
work, which was concluded at five
o'clock, when one of the workmen
accidentally broke burning lncades-
cent globe which was being carried
about the room on the end of long
cord. The room was filled with naph-
tina fumes and fire was started instan-
taneously with the sharp report of the
broken light.
Flames sprang up from every corn
er of the small room and the three
workmen beat hasty retreat in time
to escape injury from burns, although
they were momentarily hemmed in
by the flames.
The entire structure was soon en-
veloped and the blaze spread to the
adjoining structure, known as the
keg store room, where a large num-
Der of finished kegs were being kept
This building is separated from the
key house only by a narrow guage
track, and when once ignited and
burning freely, the spectacle present
ed was one of single large burning
building Everything kept in the two
places were of such composition that
they added to the fire and immediate
ly it was seen that fire fighting would
be of little or no good The powder
works department with its fire fight
ing system that has been in vogue
for number of years, was called,
however, and the men worked valiant
w to save the property
In a few hours both buildings were
smoldering in ruins, entirely destroy
ed, carrying to destruction much val
liable machinery.
The powder works office was hard
" able to estimate the loss today, de-
claring that it would near the $4,000
mark at least. No insurance is car
ried on the buildings.
With facilities for manufacturing
kegs destroyed for a time, the com
pany will have them made elsewhere,
until building can be done. This is
the first fire of any consequence that
has occurred at the powder works for
some time.

them in hand and Classics them ac-
cording to the relative shades of the
wrappers. This is done to effect a
uniformity in the appearance of each
box of cigars, and to enable the deal
er to readily indulge the whims of
the self-deluded smoker
Inasmuch as the wrapper consti-
tutes not more than onetenth of the
cigar, it will readily be seen that the
degree of its strength or mildness is
connection, however, it is interesting
to note that tobacco tradesmen versed
in the intricacies of tie industrg rig
idly bar the light-colored wrapper
from their own smoking tables,
that it generally indicates that the
leaf was prematurely cut and i'm
properly cured, and that it impairs
the flavor and burn of the cigar Gu
bans, who by the way, are notably
partial to mild tobacco avoid smoking
light-colored cigars just as they
avoid eating a green orange or an
unripe banana
The prejudice of these natives and
of tobacco tradesmen is logical one,
and serves to throw into bold relief
a peculiar misconception of facts
which is both amusing and embarrass-
ing to vendors of the fragrant weed.
Whether cigar smokers will ever
awaken to the fact that dark cigar
is, if anything, milder and invariable
sweeter and more aromatic than a
light cigar, remains to be seen
