APRIL 2. 1111 El win Nature's Own Wrapping Keeps Tobacco Best No artificial package tin, bag, or tin-foil and paper can keep tobacco as well as the natural leaf wrapper that holds all the original flavor and moisture in the Sickle plug. When you whittle off a pipeful, you always - get fresh tobacco, that burns slowly, and smokes cool and sweet. Chopped-up, "package" tobacco loses much of Its moisture before it goes into the package, and keeps getting drier all the time. And the drier it gets, the faster it burns in your pipe, and the more it bites your tongue. Only fresh tobacco gives real pipe eatisfaction and only tobacco you cut off the Sickle plug as you ,' use it, can be fresh. Economical, too no waste no package to pay tor more tobacco.

Bran deis. counsel for the Boston lruit &, Produce Kxchange, brought out to-day that the -Maine Central had increased its capital indebtedness by more than H.IU (Iimi ixmi uince .In I v 1. 1U11. when i Charles S.

WilliaJH J. HoUbs of the Boston & Maine road was vxamiiunl by Mr. Proutv iu regard to the relation of the Boston & Maine to tho Hamndvn Bailroad, now under construction between Pondsville and Springfield. It was brought out that the new road will be not mure than fif teen miles long and will, it is expected, hp completed on January next. It will have no terminals and will parallel the Athol brunch of the He ton & Albany mad between those two point. It is estimated that the cost of the short line will be about fl,0O0,00n, The Boston & Maine has entered into a con tract with the Hampden Railroad com pany to' lease the line, agreeing to guar antee tho interest on the bonds and pay 6 per pent, on outstanding capital stock. in explanation of the big cost of new road, Mr. Hobbs said he understood that the contraction company had found it ueefssary to make extensive cuttings through a ledge that was not discovered at first. Commissioner Prouty then re marked: "Apparently some parts of this short line will cost almost as much per mile as tho Culebra rut on the Isthmus of Panama." Why has the Bo-don & . Maine taken on this expensive piece of property?'' he asked. "The purpose was to enable the Bos ton & Maine to have a direct line from the North station to New York by way of the central division of the It. & M. and then over the New Haven line from Springfield," answered Mr. Hobbs. "Whv couldn't the B. & M. do that by SHAKE-UP IN THE R. M. S. Sweeping Changes Proposed by Postmaster-General Burleson WILL AFFECT HEADS OF DIVISIONS New Move Made a Marriage Law Reform for ini? which Interstate Commerce Com missioner Prouty , is holding into the railroad situation in Xew Kngland. Mr. Hobbs took the stand at tho open ing of the hearing. He was first ipies t Killed by Mr. Prouty on the finances of tho Maine Central and testified to tho increase in capital stock, which was sold at par to the stockholders. Asked what he hud done with this money he said that among other things, $1,217,100 was paid for the Ricker hotel property; or rtal estate at Bar Harbor, about $105,000; for the abolition of 'grade crossings, $12,000, and !.00() for repair shops. He said that $4,500,000 Portland Terminal company bonds were sold to ,T. P. Morgan A, 'Co., at 8H since last fuTv. Mr. Hobbs aid that $4,000,000 had been expended for Portland Terminal com pany bonds, the company being owners of the union rotation at Portland and ad joining property. The Maine Central, he said, owned the entire issue of $l,(HHl,000 of the stock of the Portland Terminal company. Of this stock 1250.000 had been bought from the Boston & Maine at 120 and tile balance from another source at par. The Portland Terminal company pays 5 per cent, on its stock, the revenue being de rived from the rental of the station to the roads which use it and the operation of a repair shop and coal discharging plant. Commissioner Prouty asked: "On what theory did you pay the Boston & Maine 120 for the stock' in the Portland Ter minal company?" "We thought it a good investment," Because," said Mr. Hobbs, "the B. & M. has no agreement with the Boston 4 Albany." No." replied Mr. Prouty, "but the Xew Haven has, and it owns the Boston & 'Maine, and that comes iprctty near giving the Boston & Maine the right to i.-e the Boston & Albany tracks in this section." Washington, April 24. Postmaster General Burleson is said to be contem plating in the near future a general liake-iip in the railway mail service and the heads of divisions in that branch of the postotliee department yesterday were nervously awaiting the depart mental earthquake. The changes, it is intimated, will not affect the 17,500 railway postal clerks who travel over the various ralircsds througnottt thu country. Members of the congression al committees having to do with the de partment have recommended to the postmaster general the appointment of James T. Canfleld of New York as gen eral superintendent of the railway mail service to succeed the present incum bent, Theodore Ingalls. Mr. Canfleld was a working mail clerk for a quar ter of a century and was recently presi dent of th Railway Mail Clerks' asso ciation. While Mr. Burleson has made no promises, he is said to have inti Mr. Hobbs made no reply to this re "The Hampden railroad is apparently nil,t,J that !' :ouM ""'"take a sweep to cost about $2.-0,(K)0 a mile. What will ! change in the railway mail perso be its rental cost to the R. & M." "It will cost the B. & M. 12.000 a year rental per mile," said Mr. Hobbs. Attorney Rich for the road stated ttie Xew York Central and Xew Kngland lines were arranging to form a "car trust" to b financed by all lines, by which the Bo-ton & Maine would get a additional equipment of 6,000 freight cars and 100 locomotives.
