Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGONIAK, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 8, 1901. 13 NO MORE SUCH HAVANAS THE FIXE OLD-TIME CIGARS XOT MADE NOWADAYS. ' Thej- Were the Highest Product of the CIgrar-aiakers' Art Pride of the MannfactHrers in Tkem. It Is a melancholy fact that the pure, high-grade Havana cigar as It "was once made Is a thing of the past, says the New York Sun. Money cannot procure for the fastidious smoker now the cigar he enjoyed 15 or 20 years ago. In shape, color, variety of leaf and last of all in the personal pride the manufacturer took In it there has been a change for the worse. It was always a very restricted product, one little understood except by the Inner circle of cultivated smokers. Consequently the number of those who regret Its passing Is comparatively small. The demand for the cigar made In Cuba of what Is termed Havana tobacco Is no greater than it was 10 years ago. There are still only about S50.000.000 of these cigars made annually. The difficulty in maintaining the old-time excellence does not come from an increased demand for the cigars, but rather from an Increased demand for the raw material, the wonder ful leaf which will grow In only a small area In Cuba in its curious perfection of quality and which cannot bo duplicated in any other spot in the world. Twenty years ago vers' few so-called clear Havana cigars were made In this country. These are the cigars which arn made entirely of tobacco grown In Cuba, without any admixture, and are rolled by what is termed Cuban hand work. Now there are made more than 700,000.000 of these cigars annuall, besides about 2,000, 000,000 seed and Havana, cigars, which aro composed mainly of a Sumatra tobacco wrapper and a filler of Havana tobacco grown In the Remedlos district a district totally apart and distinct from that pro ducing the tobacco which the native Cu ban uses in his high-grade stock. Tho American demand for the high-grade leaf has been felt more and more by the Cuban manufacturers and has led them to use other varieties of tobacco. Only a comparatively small crop of the best cigar tobacco can be grown In Cuba. This tobacco has a curious aroma and fragrance in burning, which is possessed by no other tobacco In tho world, not even the leaf raised from carefully se lected seed grown on carefully selected land, 1 na climate approximately the same as Cuba's is. There is no more tobacco land in Cuba which can be cultivated for finer grades. The bulk of this tobacco is and always has been grown In the small region of Cuba known as PInar del RIo. This is the renowned Vuelta tobacco, which is grown In the Vuelta Abajo Val ley. Here tho land was made by succes sive overflows from the sea, which seems to have given a peculiar fertility to the soIL Thus there is not nearly enough fine Plnar del RIo tobacco to go around, and there Is as great a proportion of poor to bacco grown In Cuba, as elsewhere. Even In the old days the supply was so scant that although the importation of foreign tobacco into Cuba was expreEsly forbid den by law, the manufacturers were per mitted to receive a certain amount yearly from Porto RJro, to be used with the Vuelta scraps or cuttings in the manu facture of Cuban cigarettes. The Porto RIcan tobacco was not thought worth making Into cigars by the old-time Cuban cigar-manufacturer, with whom the qual ity of his goods and the unblemished rep utation of his factory product ranked sec ond only to his untarnished family name. He was an enthusiast in his business. Men worth millions were found at their factories at 5 A. M., personally superin tending the process of cigar-making. Ex pert selecters of tobacco and blenders of the various growths and types of tho Vuelta leaf were employed at princely salaries to buy tobacco from certain fields or farms. Yearly they tested its burning qualities and Its aroma, with the one view of taking the types and blending them Into a perfect whole which could not be distinguished from the product or the previous year or ten years before If possible. So dear was the high quality of his goods to the manufacturer of those days that in one bad year, soon after the too heavy use of guano as a fertilizer, Pe dro Murias actually closed his factory for the year, and declined to work the tobac co, informing his trade in all parts of the world that It was not up to his stand ard. Today such a course would be regarded as an expensive advertising trick. Then, It was simply the outcome of the lntenso personal pride Murias took In the product of his factors', a pride shown to a greater or less extent by almost every Spaniard In the business. It Is a curious fact that nearly all the high-grade Spaniards In the cigar-manufacturing business in those days came from Asturias. In those days the Havana cigar was wrapped In a leaf of Vuelta. the same to bacco used Inside for the filler. It was a dark, rather rough-looking leaf, which if held up to the light showed an Iridescent growth of follicles, or tiny hairs, covering its surface. When the cigar was smoked two distinct fragances were obtained, one from the smoke taken into the mouth, and another from the burning end of the cigar, and both delicious. In those days Partidos tobacco was practically unknown. It grew sparsely In the phosphate soil of the Partidos dis trict, which lies eastward from the PInar del Rio, along the high gulfcoast, and can almost be said to be the connecting link between the magnificent Vuelta to bacco of Plnar del Rio and the coarser and more acrid growths of Yara (now ex tinct), Remedlos, Manlcaragua, and the poor tobacco lands. The cigar value of this tobacco Is shown by the fact that 15 years ago or so Rosendo Rosendules ran a factory, using nothing else, and his perfecto cigars were sold in Cuba for $78 a thousand, although they had the same weight, the same high-class work manship, etc, as the Vuelta perfectos of Pedro Murias, which were worth $1C5 a thousand. Both these cigars were sold on Broadway, N. Y at 25 cents each at retail. The Partidos tobacco is a thin, silky, oily leaf, very much handsomer and slghtller than the Vuelta tobacco, and after a time, being driven to it by the scarcity of Vuelta, some manufacturers began to use the Partldas tobacco for the wrapper or outside covering of thi Vuelta cigars. It was one of those chance hap penings that brought about a revolution. The lighter colored cigars caught the American eye, which was looking for a mild cigar, and the United States being the greatest buyers of Havana-made ci gars, this demand for light leaf speedily brought about the almost universal use of Partidos tobacco for wrappers. Some of the old-time factories, such as that of Murias. struggled against the new craze, as It was called, but eventually had to give In, since, by the demands of Americans in Europe, England also began to demand the light wrappers. Then sounded the knell o fthe old-timo Havana cigars. More attention was given to the Partidos crop, and it was Improved until it did not become gray with age, and the old-time fragrant bou quet of a cigar was replaced by the more or less innocuous, characterless, sweet, mild smoke of today. The cigar now de manded Is one of which a man can smoke half a dozen, one after the other. The old-time smoker of fine Vuelta tobacco says: "Yes, the tobacco Is good, sweet and mild, but after a couple of those cigars I still want a smoke." When this change first came Francisco P. Alvarez, of the Henry Clay factory, conceived the Idea of consolidation. He consolidated his own factory with that of Bock & Co., and eventually took In several Dther well-known factories, aided by Eng lish capital. Then came the Cuban and Spanish War, and at its close the pres ent combination of factories was achieved. Consequently, instead of 20 separate fac tories, with distinct products, each vicing with the others to reach the highest ex cellence, each trying to secure the most favored vegas, or sections of crops, there Is now a company endeavoring to make a homogeneous product to please tho smoking public at the least possible cost. Some idea may be formed of the won derful technical knowledge of the native Cuban experts In handling tobacco, when It is said that men such as Senor Alvarez, Callxto Lopez and Murias could handle a bale or two, and state lefinltely how the blend would turn out. If the tobacco would burn clear or would "coal," If It would stand exposure to light, and nine times In ten they could state correctly on -what land It was grown. Occasionally one will find in some old fashioned family here or In Europe cigars specially manufactured for that family. costing, possibly, 30 cents each, and In these will be found much of the old fra grance and flavor, but the Vuelta wrapper no longer receive the old-time care ana attention. It is coarser, heavier In the vein, lacking much of Its best qualities. Still It is leagues ahead of the character less Partidos. A LIBEL OF VANDERBLLT. William II. Xerer Spoke Impolitely of the Public. Ever since William II. Vanderbllt passed through Chicago many years ago on his way to California, stopping here only long enough to allow for a change of engines, the -expression, "Tho public be d ," has been a by-word all over the country. says the Chicago Post. After the news papers that day had given a column or more to the multl-mllllonalre for no other reason than because he was alleged to have expressed his feelings toward hu manity at large in those few unwisely chosen words, the world's attitude toward him changed wonderfully. He was looked upon as a miserly, eccentric, fop pish old crank who had no thought for aught save his own personal comfort and likes and dislikes. Now, If the truth be known, Vanderbllt never said what the newspapers chargea him with saying. A rank Injustice was done him. It was nothing more than a plot against him, hatched and carried out by a corps of newspaper men who wero incensed at the rich man because he would not be interviewed and because he ap parently showed partiality to one of their fellows whom ho knew better than, the others. And when he read what the news papers that day were saying about him he was so chagrined and put out general ly, yea, even angry, that ho traveled all tho way back from Kansas City to have the error corrected. But It was useless. It simply couldn't be done. Not even his reporter friend would attempt It. The clique of offended scribes had pledged themselves to stick together, and stick they did. It was a case of one man's word against what all but one of the Chicago newspapers had printed, and the power of the press Is far-reaching and stable when it comes to telling things about the rich. When Vanderbllt's private car was hauled into one of the stations that day and left standing on a sidetrack there were a dozen or moro newspaper men there to welcome him and incidentally question him on various matter In which they thought the public would be Inter ested. But Vanderbllt would have none of it, and ho sent his porter out to tell tho newspapers that he wouldn't be inter viewed. But he also sent a message which was the main cause of Inciting the in dignation of tho reporters. He was ac quainted with one of the boys, the ono who was in the employ of Wilbur F. Storey on the old Times. He saw him with the rest, and gave him a personal Invitation to come In -and see him. That started the trouble. "Tell Mr. Vanderbllt that the rest of us are quite as much entitled to an audi ence with him as he Is," one of those on the outside said. "He may know Bill all right, but that's no sign he should show any favors to him when we are all here on the same errand." The message was delivered and Vander bllt sent back word that the reporter with him was a personal friend and they were not discussing anything In the business line only having a friendly chat. "Oh, that's a pretty story." said tho first reporter. "You tell Mr. Vanderbllt that wo too would like to have a friendly chat with him, if that's what he calls it. Tell him that those friendly chats are just what the public likes to Tead." "Mr. Vanderbllt says he has nothing whatever to say to the public," sold the porter upon his return, and then he closed the door and went inside. "It's a case of the public be d d," eaid the first reporter. "What say you fellows to printing the story In about those words. He didn't exactly say so, but he meant It, Just tho same." There was no objection and that even ing all the papers save Mr. Storey's had a front-page article telling Mr. Vander bllt's latest opinion of the people. The wires were used In all directions In com municating the Btory to other papers throughout the country, and the next day, while he was eating breakfast in Kan sas City, Mr. Vanderbllt picked up tho morning paper and read tho news. Within 24 hours ho was back In Chicago holding an interview with his friend on Story's paper. "Now, I want you to correct tho state ment," said Mr. Vanderbllt. "I'll do the best I can," said the other, and thus assured, the rich man started on his way to California again. When Mr. Storey arrived at his ofllco that day he found the reporter waiting for him. He related the story In detail to him and told what had been said. Ho also explained why he had not used tho same story himself. Then he told of Van derbllt's flying trip from Kansas City. "It will be a fine story for us, Mr. Storey," said the reporter, "to tell of Mr. Vanderbllt coming all the way from Kansas City to give the Times a special story and to throw the other papers down. It won't do a thing to" "Stop right where you are," Interrupted Mr. Storey, "we will not run any contra diction of the statements made by the other papers. In the first place, let me tell you that I appreciate your work highly and that I object seriously to 'faking.' but at the same time I must admit that the exclusive story you had the day Van derbllt was In town was a miserable fail ure as compared with the 'fakes the other papers printed. But that Isn't the reason I will not use the denial today. Don't you see what the other papers will do to you personally and to the paper as well. They will simply scalp us to death. It won't pay. Better acknowledge that we were scooped and let It go at that." Love's Year. M. A. Curtols In the Gentleman's Magarlne. On a January morning. Bright and frosty. Love was born; Softened by the gentler breezes Of a February morn; With the March winds, wild and gusty; Raved and blustered all the day; But was moved to tears and laughter As sweet April had her way; And to fairer expectation "With the promise-buds of May; Under June skies, blue and hopeful. Felt anticipation near; Beveled In the July glory Of the sun's rays, hot and clear; And with golden sheaves of August Knew that harvest time Is dear; Tet amidst a chill September. Felt a change that checked his pride; In the dimness of October Watched tho falling leaves, and sighed; Through November's fogs and vapors "Wandered out alone and cried; Till at last. In bleak December, On 6 Winter night he died , ENGLSIH SOCIETYCHANGES FRIVOLITY THE KEYXOTE XOW OLD TYPES VAMSHED. Even Athletic Yonnc Men Have Ball room. Figures, and Billiards and Cards Rnlc on Sundays. Remarkable changes in the pastimes of the English leisured class have raised the question whether after all tho national characteristics of the country are as deep rooted as most writers have ' maintained. The accepted -view of the stolidity of the English temperament is more probably due to the setting up and worshipping of a type, than to character as shown In conduct. For instance, the John BulK or the Illustrated papers Is physically like nobody that one has ever seen in this country. He Is a type put forward to embody persistency, which the history of human activity has shown to be the most practically ultllltarlan of the virtues, says a London letter to the New York Sun. There being no John Bulls in England, Just as there is no such being as an av erage man, some social philosophers here have raised the question what are the prevailing characteristics of the present generation as exemplified In the daily lives of people whose time Is their own and who havo the fortunes to gratify their Inclinations? Notable critics are heard to say that society has become rest less and frivolous, that It has nothing at all of the traditional John Bull in Its composition. A writer of many years experience on the best English newspapers, who devotes himself to sport and athletics, lamented the physical consequences of this change. In conversation with a reporter at Henley. Pointing with despair at the figures ot young English oarsmen, he said: "Look at them. They've got waists. If you want to see tho physical type of the old-time English oarsmen you will sea more of It In tho American crew than in any of our own youngsters." His noting the predominance of the "ballroom figure" and disbelief that lt - could bear the hard, long-sustained strain needed In the preparation for a hard struggle are both recalled by a quite dif ferent stamp of critic dealing with the habits of smart society. It Is written by a former private secretary of Mr. Glad stone and a man who himself mixes much In society. He is Mr. George W. E. Rus sell, a relation of the Duke of Bedford and an author of some political biog raphies. His contribution to tho matter deals with the question of Sunday observ ance. As a participator In tho move ments of London society for the last SO years his contrast of now with then is very striking. He say3 that- when he first knew society, Sunday observance was almost universal. Now, he finds It hardly exists. Mr. Russell writes: "Smart people In London generally go away from Saturday till Monday, and In the country houses where they spend their 'week-ends.' Sunday Is completely secularized. Tho keener spirits play bridge In the garden, and In the evening billiards and cards have effectually displaced those ivory letters which were the extreme limit of the gayety permitted by our fath ers. For servants, on the other hand, Sun day Is a day of unending labor. Old-faah-loned people used to have cold dinner on Sunday, In order to diminish the pressure on tho kitchen, or, if nature revolted against that regimen, the hot meal was cut down to Its smallest dimensions. To day whatever of Sunday Is not occupied with exercise. Is given to meals. The early cup of tea, not without accompani ments. Is followed by a breakfast which in quantity and quality resembles a dinner and la served any time from 10 to 12. A good many people breakfast In their own rooms and "do themselves," as the phrase is, uncommonly well there. Luncheon has long been a dinner, excepting only soup. The menu is printed in white and golc. and coffee and liquors are prolonged tin within measureablc distance of tea. 'Tea Is tea and a great deal besides cakes, sandwiches, potted meat, poached eggs and I have seen, In Its season, a bleeding woodcock. A little Jaded by these gas tronomical exertions, and only partially recruited by Its curfew game of tennis, society puts off its dinner till 9 o'clock, and then sits down with an appetite which has gained keenness by delay. Drinks of all descriptions circulate In the smoking room and the bllllard-room, and Monday morning Is well advanced before the last servant cets to bed. Churchgolng Is of course a department of tho observance of Sunday, and it has pretty nearly gone with the rest. The leaders of fashion, as far as I can ob serve, do not go to church at all. Either they "think It all so silly," as the wife of a statesman said to the Archbishop of Canterbury about tho service in chapel which precedes dinner at Lambeth pal ace, or they are too much fatigued by the social labors of the preceding week, or they want to look through their house keeping books or their betting books, or they can't spare the time from bridge. It Is currently 6ald that some very great ladles, wishing to combine their own free dom with a proper example to the lower orders, always carry prayer-books when they walk in the park before luncheon on Sunday. It looks well and it Imposes no burden. But though the leaders of society have thus completely delivered themselves from tho tyranny of churchgolng, tho herd still carry some links of the broken chain. Very smart women can struggle to an 11:30 service where the music Is good and the performance does not last moro than an hour, and the Telgn of the popular preacher Is not yet quite at an end. But It does not do for tho preacher to strain his authority. An Incumbent of a pro prietary chapel in Mayfair ventured to ask a single woman who was the richest member of his congregation whether she could not manage with fewer than three footmen under her butler and give tho cost of the discarded John to a fund for the sick and poor. Disdaining to submit to priestcraft in any form the good woman "removed her hassock" and discontinued her subscriptions. The Incumbent, no longer able to meet the expenses of the chapel, was forced to resign, and is now meditating on the dangerous consequences of allowing religion to invade the sphere of private life. The subacid tono of Mr. Russell's de scriptions Is that of a man whose chosen social circle was that of Mr. Gladstone's Intimates, who are now mostly dead and havo left no one to carry on the serious traditions. English society used to reflect a good deal of the temperament of Its rulers. In Lord Palmerton's days all were for practical Whig compromise, sport and the farming Interest. Under Sir Robert Peel the business man was of account and political economy a topic of conversation. With Gladstone came strenuousness and theological bias. Disraeli altered this to cynicism varied by high-colored Oriental maglnlngs. But Lord Salisbury has Influenced noth ing in the social life of tho society to which ho belongs. He never goes Into It. His own hobby of physical science and tno marked leanings of several of his sons to High Church Anglican ritualism have practically no following in the society among whose members they are related, but In which they don't mix. If one seeks the living man of society who has most influenced its body, and whose habits are most reflected in Mr. Russell's account of how week-ends are spent, there Is only one name to mention King Edward V1L Xnmber the Stations. PORTLAND. Dec 3. (To the Editor.) While reading the account of the dread ful catastrophe which took place on the Wabash Railroad on the 27th Inst., the thought occurred to me that, If the num erous stations on any line of railway were numbered as well as named In all communications from office to officials, it would prevent. In a great measure, the recurrence of so terrible a disaster. The similarity of names, sometimes hurriedly writtent and read In baste, would be less likely to be misunderstood If a permanent m.mber as well as the name of place or depot were affixed as per example: "Seneca" (No. 87), "Sand Creek" (No. 75), this practice in use a short time, the employes would soon become accustomed to remember and Identify the distinction even though one or both names should bo misread. By lnsertlng this suggestion In The Oregon Ian it may be brought to the notice of the proper authorities, who, perhaps, will ventilate the matter if there Is anything in It. I. BURROWS.
