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.
