picking up persons "who had leeu

The exact record of the da 's sun

number of cases cared for in hos
pitals, many victims were taken direct
to their homes in private conveyances.
At the hospitals, the house and ambu

settlement of the question which is

any chauge of allegiance at all, they
hall better join the United States,

will gain a market of G5,000,000 people

would be a market of only G,000,000

Svn Francisco, July 31.---Tho.
lienry uiytne, wunse millions nave
been the snbject of contest, died on
the evening of April 4, 1SS3, in his
apartments, where he had been living
with Miss Alice Edith Dickenson, a
young artist and grass widow. His
death was somewhat sudden and was
the result of a fatty degeneration of
the heart.
Ever since Blylhe's death, claim
ants have beeu bobbing up from all
parts of tho globe. A large majority
of them claim collateral kinship, and
since the opening of the contest, they
havo been endeavoring lo satisfy the
court as to the validity of their claims.
Tho most prominent claimants arc
Florence Blythe and Alice Edith
Blythe. The former has endeavored to
prove that she is the l,illrgitimatc
daughter of Thos. H. Blythe, that ho
acknowledged her as such, and that it
"was. always his inteution to legally
adopt her." Her mother was Julia
Perry. Julia was seduced by Blythe
while he waa on a visit to England in
1873. The mother afterwards mar
ried Joseph Ashcroft, but Blvthe
always supported his daughter, cor
responded with her and acknowledged
her to friends in this city. Tho ques
tion involved is, whether her adoption
was complete enough to entitle her to
the money.
Blythe's amatory proclivities brought
Alice Dickerson into the contest Sho
claimed the widow's portion, on the
ground that she was married to
Blythe by verbal agreement. It was
contended by her opponents that she
occupied no other relation toward
Blythe except that of mistress.
The other claimants to the estate are
Hoo nnmerons to mention." Less
than one-half of them prosecuted
their claims. They were united dur
ing the contest, against Florence and
Alice. When- the contest began, it
was supposed that the Williams
claimants would have no trouble in
proving their real name was Blythe,
which ho changed when he left En
gland, to escape imprisonment for
debt They relied cm letters purport
ing to have been written by Blythe in
this city, to his relatives in Wales.
Some of the letters were almost
admitted to be forgeries, and on
others experts disagreed, as to
whether or not they were genuine.
They also introduced as au exliibit, a
photograph taken in Paris in 1873,
which he presented to the alleged
sister.
The other claimants contended that
there would be no difficulty in pro
curing such a photograph or forging
such letters. Williams also intro
duced evidence tending to show.that
BJythe's mother tongue was Welch.
A strong claim was that of the Gipsy
Blythes, generally known as the
Kentucky Blythes. Thoy are Amer
icans, of Scotch descent They pro
duced testimony showing that they
wore descendants of Adam Blythe,
father of Thomas, who was born in
Camlichie, Scotland. Adam Blythe
was a gipsy, who married Betty
Savage. Adam Blythe was a weaver,
and his son Thomas could speak tho
Bpmany language. They produced
witnesses who knew Mr. Blythe, the
gipsy, both in Camlichie and in this
city. Thoy were positive that Blythe
the millionaire, was Blythe the gipsy.

Almost all men smoke with their
eyes, says a writer in the New York
Sun, though few of them know it
They do not light the cigar with their
eyes, though often poem refer to
eyes, usually some girl's, tis bright
enough for that purpose; but the
real enjoyment oi smoking comes
through the eyes and touch. It seems
to be commonly thought that the
senses of taste and smell are those
which aro most affected bv tobacco.
and those alone make a man enjoy
tobacco, but this is not correct Of
course, a man may taste a cigar, just
as he may taste a piece of leather or a
piece of wood, but unless he chews,
the taste of tobacco is no more pleas
ing than the tasle of leather or wood;
rather, on the contrary, it is sickening.
Then men think they can tell about
cigars from their odor, but in reality
they tell about "them from their ap
pearance mid their feel.
There are many men who hold a
cigar in their mouth and roll it around
without smoking it Some of them
bite it and others chew it, but the
number who hold it between Iheir
teeth or roll it around between their
lips is greater. That is usually the
way with an old smoker. When tlie
cigar is lighted he has a certain par
ticular place for it, and certain teeth
between which the cigar rests. With
some men it is the front teeth, with
others tho incisors, and some Tmen

seldom that two men hold their cigars
in their month in just the same way
and at the same angle. There are as
many wajs and angles of holding
cigars as there are men who smoke
them,
That is whore a great deal of the
satisfaction of smoking comes in.
The nerves of touch ""of the lips are
as keen and sensible as any part of
the body thero is no hard cuticle to
dull them. The lips are full of sensi
tive blood vessels and sensitive nerves.
They curve, arch, straighten, become
hard, are drawn, and conform to every
emotion iu the mind and in every
thought. Most smokers have mobile
lip3. The hard-mouthed man seldom
becomes a victim of the smoking habit.
He may smoke occasionally because
others do, or he may chew, bnt he
misses one of the greatest enjoyments
of a cigar. These blood vessels and
these nerves in tho lips are near the
brain. The contact of the cigar with
them goes at once to the brain. That
feeling and the sight of the smoke are
soothing it is not the taste and the
smell.
One of the greatest differences be
tween good and poor cigara is in the
wrapper. It is the wrapper which
comes in contact with the lips. A good
wrapper is soft, softer than velvet or
down; it is like flossy silk. It does not
feel this way to tho palm of the hand,
nor when clinched tightly between the
lips, but whefi held between the teeth,
the lips touching it and caressing it
like an imprinted kiss.
To a greater extent does smoking
appeal to tho eyes. Try to smoke in
a dark room and the enjoyment at
once decreases, and ib is hard to tell
the difference between a good and a
bad cigar. It is hard even for a man
accustomed to smoking lo tell whether
his cigar is lit or not, except by look
ing at the coal on the end. If the
man keep3 lus eyes closed and does
not see the coal, it is easy to deceive
him. This would not apply to a man
who iiad never smoked before, but to
a man who is accustomed to smok-
iug and to such alone are the joys of
tho smoker. A sight of the smoke
and the cigar is necessary. It is the
smoke and tho glow which appeal to
the eye; the contrast between the dif
ferent shades of brown in the cigar,
the cherry of the burning tobacco and
the grayish ash, with tho thinner gray
of the smoke, changing into various

shades of blue and gray as it goes
through the air it is these that
make the visions, the quiet and the
placidity which are the charms of
smoking.
ihe fact that a cigar appeals both
to the touch and sight accounts for
the difference in the sensation of
smoking a pipe, a cigar and a cigar-
ette. The touch o each of the three
is cuaerent The same tobacco may
be in the pipe and in the cigar whioh
is in the cigarette, but it does not
have the same effect on the smoker.
There is not the same feeling to the
lips and there is not the same appeal
to tne toucu nerves. Both the sight
and touch of a cigarette aro so differ
ent that it cannot be considered with
a pipe or cigar.
There are several lessons to be
learned from these facts about smok
ing which are clear to every one as
soon as he thinks about them, but
which most smokers have not thought
about, as they go on enjoying their
habit without reflecting about tho
reasons for the movement. One of
them is that a cigar should bo chosen
and smoked in a deliberate, thought
ful and philosophical way.
a cigar is more than a brown roll
of tobacco. Simply as that it may
bring profit to the dealer and enjoy
ment to the eye through its svmmetry
and color, but its force is potential.
It has to be burned to have the en
joyment it contains let loose. A
smoker should alwavs look at tho
cigar first. Cigar dealers have
appealed to this in arranging
their boxes open in glass
cases. So far as the factorv. tlie size.
shape, quality, price, brand, color and
grade go, the cigars might as well be
kept in closed boxes. They would
also keep better that way. A smoker
should look over the case; he should
look over cigar after cigar until some
particular cigar appeals to him. It is
the same way with a box. No two
cigars are alike. There is a little speck
or spot on one, there is a little tear of
the cover, a little different twist to the
end, a little change in the convolutions
of the filler, the binder and tho wrap
per as they are exposed to view before
the match is applied.
Notice these little points in cimrs.
and pick out one that has some little
point that you particularly notice.
Some men prefer cigars with vellow
spots, others prefer a hard-looking
cigar, others a loose cigar, and so on.
The preference -is not material, the
pleasing of the eye is. When a selec
tion satisfactory to the eye has been
made, the start at least to a good
smoke is assured. Always look at the
cigar before lighting it Turn it
nround in your fingers and look at it
It is going to give you pleasure. Then
light it, not by sticking it in a flame,
or poking it in a small globe, but by
lighting a piece of paper, stick or
match, and holding it up. Do not put
the cigar in your mouth and poke your
face into a flame. That prevents the
eyes from watching properly what is
going on; but take a light and notice
tho flanio as it goes to the cigar. The
smoke begins to curl before the eyes,
the lip3 fit around the cigar like a mold.
Then an enjoyable smoke has begun.
Two Brothers Disappear in Alaska.
A report comes from Chilcat of the
mysterious disappearance of the Dow
brothers, who had been engaged in
the fishing business at that place for
tho past two years. They left without
saying a word to any one and were
last seen in Juneau about a week ago.
On examination of their nets a few
days after their departure it was
ascertained that they had been cut
with a knife and nearly ruined. The
cause of their disappearance is a
mystery, as they were in good circum
stances and had a good prospect of
making considerable money during
the fishing season. Their friends are
somewhat worried over the affair and
seem to be of the opinion that they
have met with fonl play at the hands
of the Indians. Juneau Record.
"Yes, I was awfully fond of that
girl, and I believed her to be perfect,
but I saw something about her last
night that made me sick."
"What was that?"
"Another fellow's arm."
