e el \ OUR REASONS. We have often been asked why we commenced the manufacture of Oir- ettes, Beoause our attention had been called to the fact by numerous articles written by medieal and scien- tific men that ogiumnd other drugs were beinihrge ly used in Cigarettes, and that the paper used for wrappiny was made from the filthy scrapings of r:gpickon, bleached with lime and other substances, which seriously af- o fected the membranes ot the throat and nose, and were the prime cause of the throat and nasal troubles which followed cigarette smoking, and they prophesied incalculable mage to health unless these troubles could be overcome, Feeling that the time was ripe fdr, and that the trade would appreciate, a perfectly pure cigarette, and know- ing the advantages we enjoyed of se- curing the very finest pickings of the crops (our factory being located in Durham and the Dukes having been planters, handlers and manufacturers of tobaeco all their lives, and one of them being on the market every day), we concluded to add this new depart- « ment to our already extensive smok- ing tobacco trade, and make only a pure Cigarette, free of all drugs, wrapped with the finest imported French rice paper, upon the merit of which we would stake our reputation. Such an article is the DUKE OF DURHAM Cigarette, and we intend to keep it so. Rice paper is consid- ered less injurious than anything that ) can be used for wrapping Cigarettes ; I but as it is very axpensive all do not use it who claim to. The following is an exact copy of a letter, now in our posscasion, from one of the largest importers of rice paper in the United States, through whom we import the rice paper for the Duke of Durham Cigarettes : MAY BROTHERS, 106 SECOND AVENUE, Importers of French Cigarette Paper, and Sole Agents in the United States for the Celebrated French Gambier Clay Pipes.

Charley Foster in New York: New York, December 19.--Gov- ernor Foster, of Ohio, whom the polit ical wiseacres claim is on the Blaine ticket for the campaign of 1884, held an impromptu levee in the cerridor of the Fifth avenuehotel this morning. ‘‘Are the knowing ones right this time in recard to your reported alli- i ance with Mr. Blaine, Governor? In- ! quired a Graphic reporter. { ¢ There is not a word of truth in it,” replied Mr. Foster. ‘‘As far as Mr. Blaine is concerned, I believe he is not a presidential candidate, at least I “ndge so from the fact that when I adt saw him in Cleveland, he was discharged cured or in other words was satisfied with his past experience,” ““It is said you were highly pleased over your recently friendly reception by President Arthur, and that you believe his administration will redound to the good of the country and to { the republican party?” *‘Yes,” replied the governor, “I was much gratified over my interview with the preeident and regard him. as an able and an honest man, and fur- thermore I believe that his adminis- tration will not be characterized by any act that will antagonize the repub- lican party.” SN PUSS One of the Guiteau Family.

MURDER AND SUICIDE National Associated Press, . NOTHING TO EAT AND NO PROSPECTS. New York, December 19.--One of the most horrible crimes of butchery and bloodshed on record took place this morning in Forty-cighth street. A Bohemian carpenter battered his wife's brains out with a large carpen~ tor's mallet and then cut his own throat with a_razor, slashed his face unld body, and afterward hung him« self, About 10 o'clock this mornings {oung German woman, accompanied y another woman, entered the police station and asked that the sick on be sent to 330 Kast Forty-eighth street to take her husband to the hos- pital. *‘We have no food nor money, or means of any kind to procure a doctor, and we are starving for want of something to eat,” she said. She further etated that her husband, Wen- zer Folix, a carpenter, two months ago, while at work on a new building, had fallen to the street and was severe- ly injured. He was removed to a hos- pital where he remained a couple of days till enabled to return home. Since then he had been ill and unable to work and they had no means of support. alf an hour later a wagon was sent and the driver knocked at the door. There was no response, He knocked louder and louder, but re- ceived no answer. He accosted a po- liceman and the latter placed his shoulder to the door and forced it open. Such a sight at that which presented 1tself neither had ever soen nor dreamed of. Lying across the miserable apartment was the form of the woman covored with blood, her head one mass of clotted gore. Be- side her lay a large, heavy wooden mallet, weighing probably 15 pounds, covered with blood. The husband, a youthful looking man, with a pale. and ghastly face, was dangling from the stove-pipe, and suspended by a clothes-line, ~with his feet just touching the floor. His throat was cut from ear to ear, and blood covered the clothing and dripped to the floor. Here a pool of blood had formed that reached another near his wife, and together they joined into a stream that spread over the apart- ment. Close to the hanging man, on a small table; lay a razor, bloody and evidently used in cutting the throat of the man, Everything in theapart- ment was strewn about, showing a desperate struggle had taken place, and that the woman had not died un- til many blows had beex. struck. There were no witnesses to the terrible deed. The bodies were almost cold when the policeman felt to ascertain if a spark of Zlife remained. The husband was cut down and laid beside his vic- tim. The building is occupied by soveral familics, theground floor bemyg used as a grocery. The apartment is scarcely 8x7, with low ceilings and bad ventilation. The furniture con- sisted of a broken, dilapitated bed- stead and ragged bed clothes, a couple of broken chairs, a few ornaments, a trunk and several pieces of crockery- A loaf of bread half-eaten completed the contents of the room. Every- thing betokened the most abject pov- erty. Just prior to the removal of the corpses to the morgue a hooded woman with a shawl almost concealing her features, passed up to the door of the room where the dead lay. It was the murderer's sister, The sister stated that the dead couple had been in this country but six months, being natives of Taus, in Bohemia. They had been married nine months. They came kere with another brother and sister. They did not live happily together after their arrival in this country, and for sometime lately they quarreled and fought regularly. Pov- erty seemed to have been the cause of their troubles, and frequently there was not a morsel of food in the house. CRIME. National Associated Pross.

C., Decomber 19. «+-The trial was adjourned till Wed- nesday because of the death yestor- day of the wife of Juror Hobba, Court opened as usual, with counsel, judge and prieoner all in their places. Hobbs was crying convulsively. People were very anxious to see Guiteau with a beardless face and he turned in all di- rections to give them an opportunity. The general impression is that the shaving improves Guiteau's counten- ance, removing a certain wildness of oxpression and presenting hum with a face like a keen alert clergyman, Clark Mills, the celebrated sculptor, visited the jail Saturday, accompanied by his son Thomas, the young sculp- tor, and made a lifo mask or plaster matrix of the assassin from which a plaster cast will be made. :The ar- tists were accompanied by John W, Guiteau, brother of the assassin, He was in his cell looking over the morn- ing papers when they arrived and on being informed of the desire of the artists readily consented, He was conducted to his large cell, the one which he terms his parlor, and pre- arations made to by work. Mr, *Mills suggested that Guiteau's beard should be shaved off bocause a much better representation of the features and general shape of the face could be made in that way. To this he at first demurred, saying he did not like to part with his beard, angd that he did not appear so well without it. He {‘evxticularly objected because, as he said, it would make his nose look so much longer. To this Mr. Mills sug- gested that a large nose is a sign of strength of character, whereu Guiteau, with little further hesitation, consented. The jail barber being ab- sent, a colored prisoner was brought down and his beard was soonoff. His hair being quite short it was not cut closer. A closely fitting knit skull cap of cotton moistened was put on his head, covering all of his hair and coming down across the forehead. As this dried it drew closer to the head and ina few moments fitted it as tightly as the scalp itself, showing the precise shape of the skull, showing every promi- nence or lack, This was then cover- ed with a coating of plaster ot paris, prepared for the purpose, which in a few moments had set. Another prep- aration of plaster was then made use of, in taking a matrix or mold of the features. It was so tempered that it could be placed on the skin witnout injury to it. It was spread on his face an inch thick, leaving the nos- trils open. After it had set, the whole mold was removed. The interior was found to be a perfoct representation of the face and head, showing every peculiarity of the skull and features. This will be used as a mold in which to caat the head and features for a plaster bust of the sub- ject. The removal of Guiteau's beard makes quite a change in his personal looks, rather improving his looks. He has a firm, rather broad chin, lips rather thick and a heavy jaw bone. Fire.

They would'have remained in entire ignorance of this armory filled with rifles, catridges, hand grenades, dynamite, ete., had not a violent fam- ily quarrel led to the giving of infor- mation on the strength of which the police raid was made. The removal of prisoners in the Grange female prison has been | ordered. Tt is supposed to be done to make room for members of the land league whom the government have decided to arrest.

The Countess of Balcarres refuses to offer any ransom forthe earl's pody, on the ground that it would encourage crime, The Standard this morning in a a leading artizle on Mr. Blaine's dis- patches, says: “Mr. Blaino's dis- pateh on the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is a stain on an honorable ambition which has repeatedly induced congress to uphold the principles of interna- tional law, Hitherto America has never yet been faithless in what she promised, and it is humiliating to such a nation to see its government adopt- ing such argument, Mr, Blrine's allu- sion to the rightful claim of the Uni- ted States to prh-ritl on the American continent cannot be regarded as a serious _proposition.

National Amsociated Prese, PANAMA, December 8.-—-Dates to the 15th of November from Lima state that the reported visit of the Alaska to Mollendo proved to have been founded on facts. She called at that port and landed the brother of Garcia Calderon, who is said to have been the bearer of funds and instructions to the leaders ef the revolution against Pierola. There seems to have been some truth in this rumor, as directly after his arrival at that city troops were marched in the direction of Ayacucho, the headquarters of Pie- rola and his friends. At a meeting held in Senor Garcia Calderon, Montero was appointed vice president, and he has necepted this office under the con- dition that the United States minister guarantee him U ed States inter- vention, The celebrated memorandum of Gen. Hurlbut has caused much ex- citement on the east coast. Campero continues to croate slight alarm in the department of Tarapaca, but he and his forces have as yet shown no inclination to attack the nitrate deposits, where forces are sta~ tioned, 'l‘llm Monteros are doing as they like in many of the smaller towns of the north, and murder and robbery is very frequent on eeveral lines of travel. Two ofticers wore murdered by ne- groes at Canete lately, simply because ““R’ wer) white. ews from Bolivia proves that there is little probability of the invasion of Taravaca. Campero has 8,000 men under arms at Lopas, Potosi and Or- uro, he being in the latter city with 0,000. A few weeks ago it is said he ordered two battalions to march to the const, when they at once stacked arms and re- fused to move unless they received their pay. The Bolivian public be- lieve Campero is more inclined to suppress the Calderon party in the south than to fight the c\mumu. Chilcan reconnoitoring parties have pushed almost into the heart of Boki- via. One from Tocana captured a lot of booty, driving it back with them. Another party left Tarapaca and pushed on to Lebaya and Canuna and other interior towns, said to be occu- pied by Boliviun forces. Only acpuple of Montero bands were fallen in with, which disbanded after a few shots. Montero remains at Cajanearca, whence he Eas been issuing procla- mations and fly sheets. He has as- aumed the title of vice-president, but this appears to be only a provisionral measure. In one of his proclamations: he says to the populace: ‘‘Ton are alreatly aware tfinc that his excellency, the American ministerin Lima, declared in the name of his govern- ment his resolution to interfere in the arrangement of peace with Chili, without the cossion of territory or any other conditions humiliating to our country.” These ‘l:ionunble peace” and “no ceasion of territory” cries which haye enabled the military leaders to plun- der the whole of the interior are los- ing their force, and all working Peru- vians, and those who have yet any- thing to lose, advocate the immediate cession of Tarapaca. Thoy say they have reaped no advantage from it in the past, and they can_ hope to reap none in the future, burdened as it is with Peravian and Chilean debts, and that the sooner 1t is gotten nd of and the Chileans out of the country the better they will be satisfied. Montero has written to General Hurlbut and published under date of October 23, the following extarordi- nary letter: *“In the light of the fa- vorable direction in_which, owing to the oflicacions meditation of your government, events have taken witl respect to the international question pending between my country and Chili, and especially of the dictinct. answer as to the high intentions of the Washington cabinet given by your ex- cellency to the notables of the capi- tol, Thave determined to direct my proceedings toward unification of the country in accordance with the consti- tution of 1860. This conduct is in perfect harmony and is corollary of the patriotic programme I have fol- lowed during the present war. When Pierolia assumed power, on Decem- ber 21, 1879, T, who commanded inthe south the only army we have possessed, at once recognized him without debating his rights, in order to avoid the evils attendant on _divi- sion in front of the enemy, and this 1 did, although the dictatorship was opposed to my republican sentiments, and that I possessed abundant ele- ments with which to subjugate that power. These same motives induced me, after January 10, to accept the oftice of organizing the north against the invader, and in this mission T have used every patriotic endeavor to succeed, until now I am surrounded by what is actually necessary to de- fend the territory under my command to-day. That it is necessary we should unite and in law and order to bring about an honoratle solution of the quostien and thie supreme rule of my actions being the salvatton of my country, your excellency can count on my not being an obstacle 1 the way of obtaining that sacred object, to ob- tain which I would hesitate at no sacrifice, by concluding that it is my duly to remit to your excellency and through you to the g nent of the United States my sincere gratitude, as a soldier, patriot and democrat for the attitude you have assumed prior to settloment perpetual peace and the equilibriun of the conntry where the American Union figures in the front line, thanks to the wonderful prosperity it has reached in liberal opinions,” e e —— The finest for the least money at Whipple & McMillen's, Creighton bluclfi aeef&m the home of , of Peruyian questions on behalf of
