Poorer Tobacco Is Result of Allies
 Grecian Occupation

Vo1o, Thessaly, Dec. 21.-The oc- and the consequent turning of the richest tobacco land in the world into a field of battle has been the making of the growers of the tobaccos of in- ferior grade in Thessaly and the Pelo- ponnesus. American tobacc, firms have hundreds of thousands of dol7 lars worth of tobacco stored in Ser res and Cavalla. But the whole coast of Eastern Macedonia is under the blockade of the French fleet and there is no way, to get the tobacco out. As a result the previously despised product of old Greece has mounted in price beyond the widest dreams of the Thessalians.
 Volo is the port of Thessaly and the tobacco buyers from Egypt, Eng land, Holland and the United States have focked here to purchase the years crops. The market is so up- set that old differences of few cents no longer obtain. It is impossible to predict the prices to be paid-all de- bends on how short certain cigarette manufacturers are of the kind of to- bacco they have always purchased in 1To0C0 TOT Ine1r Dl0nOS. ArSOS lear that used to sell at 43 cents a pound now commands a price of 42.14 cents. The tobacco from Karditsa used to bring only TIA cents per pound; now it sells as high as 70 cents. Policastro was formerly quoted as>25 cents; it now brings 60 cents. Almiras that a year ago was worth 286 cents now brings 53.6.
 Even in Greece, where the consum- CTS are not very particular about their tobacco, the prices of all cigarettes have been raised, a packet of 2S ci- garettes which previously sold at IA cents, and others in proportion.
 The operations in tobacco, parti- cularly by American firms, whose Ntelegrams and letters to their agents in Greece are delayed by censors of one sort and another, are often more in the nature of gambling on account of these delays. An American firm recently cabled it's agent at Volo, in reply to an inquiry about the pur- chase of a certain tobacco stock: "Buy it if it can be secured at IA cents.' The message arrived: "Buy it," quite simply. The agent bought at the then price, 12 cents, causing his firm loss in the tens of thous- ands of dollars, due to the censoring of the message. Tobacco agents here state that incidents of this nature are frequent.

DECLARE CANCER NOT CONTAGIOUS
 NOR HEREDITARY
Actuary Tells Insurance Men Study Has Convinc-
 ed Him of That Fact

New York, Dec 21.-Two years study of original insurance statistics indicate cancer is neither hereditary nor contagious, according to a paper presented to the Association of Life Insurance Presidents here by Presi- dent Arthur Hunter of the Actuarial Society of America.
 After referring to the annual toll of 80,000 deaths from cancer in the United States, MT. Hunter said:
 ''No sooner do we become interest ed in the wide prevalence of dis ease like cancer, than we begin to wonder whether it is contagious or hereditary. Such questions must be in the minds of hundreds of thous- ands of relatives of persons who have died from this disease and of others who are suffering from it.
 "There seems little to support the view that cancer is the result of con- tagion Twenty thousand applica- tions for insurance were reviewed and it was found that in 4SS cases one only of the parents of the appli- cant was stated to have died from cancer and in four cases both par ents were stated to have died of that disease. There were 122 times as many cases in which one parent had died of cancer as of those in which both parents had died of that dis ease. There could hardly be a strong CT test than the case of husband and wife"
 As to heredity, MT. Hunter said: My first investigation consisted of cases of persons insured in six com- panies, both parents having died of cancer prior to date of application for insurance. Of 472 grandparents of the insured, the cause of death was given in 234 cases of which two were from cancer; the cause of death was stated in 1894 of these as Old age,' the average age at death of which was 82. In 72 of the grandparents the cause of death was not known but the age was given, the average being 62; in 155 cases neither the age nor the cause of death was known. It is reasonable to conclude that if only two died of cancer out of 234 parents of persons, who died of cancer, that disease is not hereditary.
 '"The possibility of heredity in can- cer has generally been studied by ex- periments on animals. In the ease of human beings there has been no
  aware, to investigate the problem in families where there has evidently been a cancer strain, if such a thing exists. In the present. investigation, one of the groups consisted of cases in which both of the parents had died from cancer; and in another of the groups, a parent; and a brother or a sister of the policyho1der had died from that disease. It might be expected, therefore, that if cancer were hereditary it would be shown very clearly in the family records of these persons but this has not ap- peared.
 "Men and women who are in an- xiety of mind on account of the ap- pearance of cancer in their ancestry or immediate family, may dismiss such anxieties as there is no statisti- cal evidence aA the present time that the disease of cancer is transmitted by inheritance in mankind"

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO
ROBBERY OF THE MAIL.

St. Clairsville, Ohio.-On Tuesday last, the mail coming from the west ward, robbed about miles beyond Morristown in this county. The post rider states that he was stopped by two men who tied his feet together and his hands behind his back; that they dragged the mail few steps from him and cut the bags open, and searched the letters, and appeared to take out great deal of plunder. The letters in the mail were generally opened and thrown down. When the williams had completed their search they told the post rider that there were two other concerned and that in about an hour they would come along and unite him or take his life as might be agreed upon. They then left him and he worked off one of his socks and got the rope over his heel He made his way to a house and gave the alarm.
