ply. He stepped from the rostrum
and amid wild cheering retired to his
room while the House considered the
pension bills. Most of the day was

His Remarks Were Based on the
Fact That Today Was the 34th
Anniversary of Speaker Cannon's
First Speech in the House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ia-Speak-er
Cannon's Presidential boom re
ceived a marked impetus today in the
House when Boutelle brought the
subject to the fore as a climax to a
half hour's speech. His remarks were
based on the fact that today was the
34th anniversary of Cannon's first
speech in the House. Boutelle spoke
with enthusiasm and when he closed
with the remark that within the next
two months, the "Plain people of the
country would join the voters of
Cannon's district in conferring upon
the nation's final honor," the speaker
was given a great demonstration.
There was keen disappointment on all
MARBLE CUTTERS TO STRIKE.
NEW YORK. Feb. 18.-Vholesale
monument dealers in this city who
have been watching the situation pre
dicted yesterday a general strike of
the cutters and allied unions against
the quarry men beginning March 1,
which will extend throughout New
England marble and granite district
and affect the trade all over the
country. The differences between the
quarry owners and their employes,
the wholesalers say, includes in addi
tion to a dispute over wages, which
the men. want increased, a demand
for the continuation of the Saturday
half holiday throughout the year. A
general strike, it is said, would prac
tically stop the sale of New England
marble and granite for tombstones.
Middlemen do not carry a surplus
stock and the retailer buys as he sells,
while the quarrymen at present have
at present only a small supply on
hand. The quarries are well union
ized and a strike would very likely,
it is said, tie up the whole industry
in this section.
Claimed Intimate Acquaintance With
Prominent People Long Dead
Told First of Disappearance of
Body of A. T. Stewart.
NEW YORK, Feb. la-That Cald
well, who has been declared an incur
able paranciaic and was yesterday
taken to the Manhattan hospital for
the insane on Wards Island, was pre
paring another statement with which
he expected to startle the world,
tne opinion ot nis uaugiuer, miss
Georgine Caldwell. For years Cald
well has claimed intimate acuuain
tance with prominent men long since
dead and has declared in several cases
that he was able to solve mysteries
which have never been solved, He
first came into prominence by a story
he told relating to the mystery stir
rounding the disappearance of the
body of A. T. Stewart, Sind later
claimed personal knowledge of facts
tending to prove the contenions of
claimants to the estate of the Duke of
Portland. It was in the latter case
that he testified in London and was
charged with perjury. The British
consul in New York will make a sep
arate v examination into Caldwell's
condition' before withdrawing the ap
plication for his extradition. Cald
well possesses several trunks filled
with newspaper clippings and docu
ments and for several days prior to
his being taken to the insane hospital
pored over them constantly, hinting
t anew mystery, which he was about
to reveal which would be even more
tartling than any of the others he
has told about.

Don't let anyone's prejudice or selfish opposition convince
you that any of the "Triangle A" brands are not better
than any other cigars sold at the same price.
That's no way to judge.
You can test it for yourself, and you are the only one
who knows when the cigar suits you.
Smoke any "Triangle A" brand and compare it fairly
with any other cigar sold at the same price.
.. We are willing to stake the success of our whole business
t on public opinion founded on this test.
The experience which has been combined in producing
the American Cigar Company's cigars was acquired from the
operation of nearly 100 of the most famous and successful
factories in Cuba and the United States. And processes of
proper refining and scientific blending mean much to every
smoker.
You can bank on the ' ' Triangle A" sign every time. No
more raw, green, bitter tobacco in your cigars !
Is that worth the trouble ?
The "Triangle A" is the mark that protects you.

Every box is now extra-wrapped in glassine paper, sealed at each
