The Clrgarmakers' Union has Issued u circular letter which will be addressed to various business houses In the city "sir ing them to patronize more liberally home dealers who are engaged In the manu facture Of cigars. The circular says In part: "There are at present aiout 50 cigar makers employed here, and the average wage per man will amount to $100 a month, and when we Include In this iln wages of the other people employed about the shops, either In the capacity of salesmen, foremen, packers and strip pers, it will bring it up to ut least $T0'X) a month. The number of cigars produced here monthly Is approximately 25O.mi0. while we have learned from carefully prepared statistics, and close observation that the average consumption for t!u same period will amount to at least 1.2'A 000, or Just five times as many as ir produced. It Is not hard to figure that the loss to Portland and its business In terests is $30,000 a month, or 3"AoO yea In wages alone." "The amount of money kept in circula tion, In our City Instead of going outside as it now does, would be productive of great results In the material upbu.lflinK of Portland. The object of. this, circular Is to try to Induce the local handlers of oigars to use as much of the home jri duct as possible under any and ail cir cumstances. The cigars produced her? will compare favorably In polrifctif Equal ity, workmanship, or price with th .se manufactured anywhere in the Uriitjil States." A. W.

Ga., Oct. 1 Owing to Its purely perfunctory character the state election in progress in Georgia teday is attracting little or no attention. The Democratic primary last June amounted virtually to an election, as no other po litical party in taa vS?ste has. placed a ticket In the field. Consequently today's balloting la merely a matter of form in compliance with the law. The new Gov ernor is J. M. Terrell. All of the old congressmen are to return to Washing ton with the exception of W. H. Fleming, of the Tenth district, who will be succeed ed by T. W. Hardwick. The Journal, a Free and Fair bswa. oauer.

UNDER THE CILLOTINE. There Is a story of a ghastly quarter of an hour once passed by a young Parisian who wandered Into the "Chamber of Hor rors" at a wax works show In London. Finding himself alone, he was seised with an inspiration. What a glorious thing to put his neck under the guillotine where had rested the neck of Marie Antoinette! He lay down, touched a spring and closed the collar. But how was he to .release himself? If he touched the wrong spring the fatal axe might descend. Unable to speak a word of Engush, he yelled lustily for help In French, and before long a crowd of visitors led by an attendant came on the scene. The guide was a bit of a linguist and saw an opportunity with himself, as master of the situation. He at once began a practical lecture on the guillotine, Interrupting his remarks with little asides in French to the Indignant victim, asking htm to scream louder or writhe more agonisingly. "How' well he acts!" exclaimed the gratified onlookers. Finally the Parisian 'was released and, answering the applausj .with maledictions fled, leaving his hat behind.
