Dance Hall Closed.

A committee of five from the
Colored Mothers Club, together
with Prof. Faulkner, of the color
ed school, went before the town
commissioners Tuesday night
and asked that the colored dance
hall be closed, this being con-
sidered a menace and a nuisance
to the town. The commissioners
needed their plea, and passed an
order that it be closed.
This is most commendable in
these women, and the commits.
sioners acted wisely closing such
a hall.

that it was hard to thank Mr.. Co

TOBACCO PROBLEM

Havana, June 0.-Cuban tobac-
oc planters say that the suspen-
sion by Great Britain of its ex-
ira 50 per cent tax on tobacco i'm
ports will give little help in the
present crisis faced by the Cuban
tobacco industry.
In a recent meeting of planters
it was stated that the British
dealers had stocked up heavily
and would require little tobacco
for some time. The planters al
SO stated that their efforts to in
duce the tobacco workers associ-
alton to accept reduced wages SO
that Cuban tobacco could be put
on the market at reduced prices
had resulted in so slight a reduc-
tion of wages that it was consid-
cred useless.
