Jackal Broth.

There are parts of Morocco, we are
told by French visitor, where jackai
broth is highly esteemed as a table
delicacy. A friendly sheik dlssented
vehemently when It was intlmated
that as jackals fed on carrion the
broth must have horrible flavor
ut is only question of knowing how
10 prepare IT," he said you put the
jackal, skin and all, for two hours into
q vessel of boiling water, then transfer
II TO another vessel. This process is
repeated three times. After ten hours
boiling in FIVE different waters, the
carrion favor disappears and the broth
is delicious. "-London Chronicle.

Company and the Consolidated To
bacco Company we're merged into the
present American. Tobacco Company
Enters Into Contract.
1t is alleged that in addition to this
organization, the American compan-
les in 1902 entered into a contract
with a British company. the Imperial
Tobacco Company, whereby the Amer
lean companies were limited in their
business to America and the British to
Great Britain. except that the latter
could buy leaf tobacco in the United
States. 1t was alleged that the Brit
ish-American Tobacco Company was
organized to take over the export
business of both the British and the
American companies.
Greatest Producers.
Testimony was presented to prove
that the defendants produced 20 per
cent of the smoking tobacco made in
this country: 10 per cent of the ciga-
rettes: 81 per cent of the plug and
twist tobacco, 81 per cent of the fine
cut tobacco; SO per cent OF the little
cigars; 96 per cent of the snuff; 95 per
cent of the licorice paste; rs per cent
of the tinfoil and most of the tobac-
co extracts, boxes and containers.
Three OF the four Judges on the cir
cult bench united in decree. This
decree dismissed the petition as to the
Imperial Company and the British
American Company, and the United
Cigar Stores Company, which was
claimed to be the retail branch Of the
organization. This action formed one
Of the grounds for appeal by the gov
eminent to the supreme court.
Unlawful Combination.
The decree adiudged the other do.
PENDANTS TO be parties to an unlaw-
full combination. but said nothing
about the monopolizing charges. This
failure furnished another ground for
appeal by the government. The
American Tobacco Company, the
American Snuff Company, the Amer,.
can Cigar Company P. Lorillard cpm-
pany, Il. j. Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany Blackwcll'a Durham Tobacco
Company and the conley Foil Com.
pany were adjudged 10 hold shares in
a number Of specified COMPUTATIONS
and enjoined them from acouifinrE tho
plants or business or voting the shares
OF and from exercising control over
these subsidiary companies. The row
eminent was dissatisfied because the
holding companies were not enio,nad
from collecting dividends from the
subsidiary companies.
The defendants appealed to the su-
preme court because the petition .,
the government was not dismissed i,
toto. :"
