FORTUNE IN CIGARS
PUZZLES COLUMBIA.
Sixty Thousand Found In Humidsf @
Lats oserss crseksr's Country plass.

The trustees Of Columbia university
are in a quandary regarding the dispo-
1ition Of some 10000 cigars, said to be
worth between $4,000 and $4,000. &C.
cording to tobacco experts. The cigars
are the property of the university
through the will Of the late George
Croker, who left to the university q
sum exceeding $1,000 to be devoted
to study Of the cure Of cancer, dis
ease to which both he and his wife
fell victims.
Part Of the bequest to the university
included magnificent country place,
consisting of a beautiful house and
1900 acres Of land at Mahwah, N. j.,
in the Ramapo mountains, with all APP
purtenances. 1t was in the basement
Of this house that the enormous col
lection Of fine cigars was discovered.
They We're found in specially con-
structed vault Of large dimensions,
built into the side wall of the base
ment This giant humidor contained
the cigars, which are of rare quality.
having been made especially for Mr..
Croker, who was conpoisseur In to-
bacco and great lover of cigars.
Most Of the cigars are stamped with
the monogram of Mr.. Croker, and the
markings on the boxes show that they
were made in the leading factories Of
the world.
The trustees Of the university and
others engaged in settlement of the es-
tate are puzzled by the problem Of
disposal Of the cigars. So far nothing
definite has been decided. Before the
cigars can be sold it will be necessary
to determine whether they fall under
the classification Of household goods
and furnishings" If the lawyers de-
eide that they cannot be SO classed ac-
cording to the terms Of the will the
trustees will be unable to sell them
and will have to determine on some
other disposition for them.

Fire Sweeps Section Of Country Three

Toronto, July 14.-Reports from
Northern Ontario points are that the
forest fires, which for several days
have swept over a section of country
extending 800 miles northward from
North Bay and covering wide sec.
ton east and west, have either been
extinguished or are under control.
No further extensive damage or loss
of life is expected. The towns Of

The known dead total 122. the ma.
5ority of whom lost their lives at
South Porcupine. There are believed
to have been many other fatalities and
estimates based upon unverified re-
ports run as high as 400.

days and perhaps weeks before any
accurate idea OF the total number of
dead is available. Many of the terror
stricken fled into the interior wood
lands. They have not been heard
from since. Others who possibly sur
vtved the storm of fire are believed to
have died from exhaustion.
Some survivors are coming In with
their clothing torn and their limbs cut
from their mad rush through the
woods. Some told of stumbling over
bodies of those who had died on the
way.

The convention held this week in Balti
more at the instance Of the National
Association Of Shellfsh Commissioners,
should be of great benefit to Maryland
as the oyster business is one of the States
important industries and sources o.
wealth. The convention has been in the
nature Of an educational meeting, the
speakers telling of the methods employed
in oyster planting in various localities
and waters, and pointing out the best
method for Maryland to adopt in develop
ing this industery, the oyster problem
being of Statewide importance. The
oyster beds were inspected and orr State
Shel1lish Commission received many
valuable Suggestions from experts
familiar with the details of oyster cul-
ture as successfully practiced in Other

There is much food for thought in the
following paragraph, from one Of our ex-
changes: Fifteen years ago Mr.. Bryan's
policies were attacked as radical, with a
tendency to anarchy, the same was true
four years later, in 1900, and yet, today,
many Of those policies are now in
operation and many others are being ad.
vocated by those who at that time bitterly
assailed and opposed them, this being
true alike of individuals and the press.
What does it mean? It means that the
lawabidiug. throughtful, intelligent peo-
pie have awakened to realization of the
fact that this country cannot preserve its
integrity and independence, its national
honor. if bribery and corruption, with
their tainting influences in every depart
ment of the government, are permitted
to exist in our elections. The fight all
along the line, is to drive out of politics
those who seek to buy that which they
cannot get honestly.

Of deposisors from $36.54 to 1860. This

ARBOR DAY.

The annual celebration of Arbor Day
by proclamation OF the Governor occurs
this year on April 2Ist. It is the special
day in the year when we recount the
value of trees and forests. Maryland has
been richly endowed with numerous
valuable tree species. Indeed, there is
. scarcely valuable tree indigenous to the
eastern United States that is not found
growing naturally within her borders.
The timber products from our forests
cold annually amount to more than
$500, ooo, 900. Over 700 saw mills. with
q large invested capital and employing
thousands of men, are engaged in con
verting the trees of the forest into ium-
Der. lath and shingles and other products.
While we have large wooded area, ovei
a,ooo, 900 acres, the best of our timber
has been cut out and we take so little
care of the forest that it is not producing
one fourth of what it is capable of doing
under proper forest management We
are so careless about forest fires. Las
year these fires burned over at least
4Q,u0Q AlACS III WoOuiauus causing
damage of more than $500. 900. Fores
fires are rare in countries where they hav.
the best managed forests and, indeed. the
prevalence. or absence. of forest fires is {
true measure of the csrelessness. or care
fitness, with which they use them.
