The Street Car Smoking Nuisance.
Editor Stay:-Have the people OF Washington,
who use 1t ought to respect? One would sup
pose not, especially when upon the street cars.
To many tobacco Is not only dtsagIeeabie, but
sickenjDg. When l am forced to tnha'e the
fumes Of tobacco for only moment or two, It
invariably affects me as II had taken a violent
cold. and il for longer time, 1t gives me
four days to recover from its enects. All are
rot affected by tobacco In like manner with
myself, but TO many 1t is more than unpleaS-
ant, especially to ladies: In the open street
desilipg to smoke, and often ladies have been
obliged to take seats with the smokers, because
there was no other seat vacant for them TO take.
This week. while riding upon box car from
Capitol Hill to Post Oce, eight men aud tico lit
tie boys came on the car with lighted cigars, -four
OF them walked into the car with smoking cigars
the car to front platform, where they smoked
vigorously, the smoke blow ing back in car. The
remaining four took possession Of the relr plat
form. Thus it is every day ard upon every
aid splitting the juice over the floors.
1t is not to be expected men will be gentle
manly upon street car when they are not
elsewhere, but 10 many cities smoking Is not
al owed upon the street cars, and the men, II
not gentlemen. are forced for time In that
respect to appear as such. 1t is matter of
far forgotten that they need to be reminded.
mo gentleman will smoke in the presence of a
lady without asking and obtaining her con-
sent" Why will not the car companies allow
'.no smokipg'' to be put up in every car, and
see to it that the conductors enforce the rule,
thus renewing many OF their patrons from
much suffering, and harming none? THIS is
not word for one, but for many, who endure
much from TIE same cause, and trust you,
Mr.. EDITOR, who are striving so molly to right
the many wrongs of our citizens, will not allow
the subject to rest UNTIL at least, the street
compaptt recoe niZe and respect the rights of
those who dislike TOBACCO.

The Police and the Rows.

Editor Star:-Sir: see considerable commo-
ton hes be en- raised about the pole e for having
in washington for twenty years and know
something about this matter, and speaking
from my own expel .erce, am free to say that
my sympathies in this matter are all with the
police. 1t is burning shame to have gang
OF boys from 10 to 20 years, congre eating at the
street come and In front OF residences lighting
throwing stones and making both day and night
hideous with their obscenfty and profanity, and
when spoken to about it by citizens their usual
course is to crrLe and abuse them, and defy
them. Many times this summer has this oc-
tent that it was neither safe nor decent for my
own and the neighborS children to play tu my
own yard, within ref CHI OF the flying stones and
obseenity; Time and again have had to apply
to the olfce for relief, and the only complaint
/ have to make OF them is that they are alto
gether tco lenteDt with these Young scou1drels.
I am pretty familiar With nearly all the large
cities of the country and In no other is there SO
much OF this SOIL OF thing as here IN Washing
ton. There are ten thousand boys in this Dis
tl;ct, black and white, who are growing up In
who ought to be learning trades and qua Tying
themselves TO earn an horc~t living, but rnder
the pre-, ent rules OF the trades unions there
S 10 1e no r them to that
them are Enot. No respectable citizen Will
permit his children to loaf about the streets In
this way, and If they 90, to the ANNOYANCE Of
say put on the nippers, or anything else that
will teach them to berave themselves, and
stop annoying the public. No citizen who
ground of complaint on that score. II he lets
them lun in the street and annoy others, he
ce. To- ply has no ground for complaint II they
are treated severely. 1t is simply the Just re-
suit Of his own conduct. It is Just such gangs
Of street loatDg boys which grow into the
Iowdes, who irsult women, commit highway
robberies on our streets, as for instance on
North Capitol street on Sunday night, and who
engage In the numerous shooting and stabblng
ARRAYS about the streets and beer saloons. I
have boys, and they don't annoy Others. If
they should, 1 should expect them to bs pun
ished, and should consider it my duty to see
that they behaved themselves at any and all
times. A CITIZEN,
