CIGARETTE smoking is a popular luxury in
America, and yet there are many who believe
and assert that it is injurious to the human
system. In recent number of the Lancet
Sir Henry Thompson, the eminent doctor,
writes, 1.-The cigarette without a mouth-piece
is never smoked more than half way through
in the East where cigarettes are cheap. II
cigarettes with card mouth piece is employed
the nauseous matter may be intercepted by
placing light plug of cotton or wool into the
tube smoked. Then do not hesitate to re-
gard the cigarette as the least potent, and
therefore the least injurious form of tobacco
smoking. Without this precaution it may be
made, although not necessarily, the most
ready means of conveying the active principle
of tobacco by means of smoke into the sys-
tenn" These facts are worth the considera
tion of cigarette smokers.

NEWS FROM CROOK.
Belief that the Hostiles Have Eluded Him
Where He Is.

CHICAGO, June 8.-A Tucson special says:
Reliable news from Mexican headquarters
at Oposura, Sonora up to June 1, has been
received here The Indians, reported in an
Oposura dispatch of May %, as appearing in
the foothills near Nacori were not hostiles
but Apache scouts, belonging to Crook s
column.
'"The Mexican guides taken by Crook from
Bapispe, May 6, have arrived at the Mexican
headquarters. They left Crook encamped at
Tres Castellos, where Colonel Garcia had the
fight with the hostiles May 26. The General
has parties scouting in all directions from
his camp, but up to the time of the guides
leaving no hostiles had been found. Crook S
camp is thirty miles northeast of Nacori,
and $50 miles south of the line. Reports of
depredations near Babispe have reached
Oposura, which lead the Mexican command
ant to believe that the hostiles have eluded
Crook and gained his rear as Bapispe is
northwest of Crooks encampment Colonel
BandOle has ordered one company of regular
troops and two companies of State troops to
march Immediately to Crooks command.
There is no danger of the General running
out of supplies, as cattle from the settle
ments in the foothills range within two days
march of his camp. Crooks campaign must
end by the Goth inst, as the rainy season.
which begins soon, will cause the mountain
streams to become so swollen that the troops
cannot ford them"

The ~.acinnati Iron Strike.

CINCINNATI, June 8.-When the scale of
the iron-workers was signed at Pittsburg it
was assumed that work would be resumed
here Immediately, but it was found that
there was a strong disposition among the
workmen here to break the agreement to
abide by the Pittsburg scale. To effect this,
a scale was presented lower than the Pitts
burg, but it was rejected. One of the mills
tried to run yesterday without puddlers, but
had to close. To-day meeting of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron and Steel Work
ers, of Cincinnati, Covington and Newport,
was held in Covington, and agreed to present
a labor scale on the Pittsburg basis. This, of
course, must be accepted by the mills, and
all will be running by Monday next.

an attendant as peaceful, was in the room
with deceased. Superintendent Miller said

face fa as sufficient to cause death He
hurt himself in the fall Mrs Bacon
testified at considerable length saying,
among other things, that she was told by the

bed. She could not see how he could fall in a
spasm and receive such injuries and then get
back into bed She said that he told her at
her last visit that the attendants were rough
with the patients, that he had been slapped
in the face. She spoke to an attendant about
it at the time, and he answered that they
had to be rough sometimes to make the
patients behave. The testimony was not
concluded.

wOLsELEY's ANNUITY.
Lord Randolph Churchill Says the Egyptian
War was Disgraceful.

War DisgracefuL
LONDON, June S-A stormy debate arose
in the Commons on the commitment of the
ord Wolseley and Baron Alcester annuity
foSS for the purpose of committing the pro-
posed pensions for lump sums of money. Sir
Wilfred Lawson, Radical, and Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, Conservative, opposed the
motion. The latter alleged that an inquiry
into the Egyptian war was first necessary.
The origin of the war was, he said, disgrace
full, not glorious, as the governments pup
pet, the Khedive, was the real author of the
massacres in Alexandria.
Sir Stafford Northcote Conservative sup
ported the government. The opposition to
the grants he characterized as shabby as we'll
as the present raising of the question as to
the policy of the war. He declined to be
led by Lord Churchill, and he hoped the
House would not be induced, by the noble
Lord to accept a position degrading to it's
honor
Gladstone declared that Churchilps allie
CATION in regard to the Khedive was entirely
at variance with all the evidence in the
hands of the government
Lord Churchill promised to give proofs of
his statement if the government would grant
the proper inquiry.

JAMES G. BLAINE.
Speculation Regarding the Political Pros
poets of the Ex-Secretary

poets of the Ex-Secretary.
Washington Special to Cleveland Herald.
Mr. Blaine constantly assures all inquirers
that he is not in politics, but is devoting all
his time to the preparation of his forthcom-
ing book which he expects will have an ex-
tensive sale and lead to some discussion.
While it is true that Mr.. Blaine is doing con-
siderable literary work, It'll also true, if some
of his most trusted friends are not misin-
formed, that he takes more than passing in
terest in political affairs, and is in constant
communication with well-known active poll
tions in many of the States who are friendly
to his interests.
1t is not doubted here that Mr.. Blaine
fully intends to go before the next national
Republican convention and try once more
to obtain the coveted nomination, and
the proof of this is cited in
the. fact that more or less
preliminary work in his interest has already
been done in several oft he States, and that
out-and-ont Blaine leaders are at the capital
frequently in consultation with their chief
and do not hesitate to declare that Blaine
will be the next nominee
very prominent government official
whose name is'well known throughout the
country III conversation WIN your corre-
spondent to-day, said: 81 have seen enough
within few weeks to satisfy me that Mr..
Blaine has his plans all laid to secure the
nomination next year. but he realizes that it
will be fatal to him to openly announce him
self and that he can only succeed by appear
ing to be out of politics, and thus not draw
the fire of his opponents. He knows that he
cannot be nominated in a hotly contested
canvass of the delegates with all the old lead
ers against him. He is laying low while his
friends are engaged in still hunt but at
the opportune time will appear in the field
fresh and ready to have the nomination
forced upon him."

They will not submit much longer to be per-
secuted by few obstinate fanatics who are

spite, submit to reason the grass and sun
flowers will soon decorate our streets.

SPRING AND SUMMER.
The Story of Two Statues in Mr.. Corcoran's
Art Gallery.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, June 8.-Two figures in
marble, called Spring and Summer, which
are on exhibition in the Corcoran Art Gil
lery have history. They were cut by the
senior Powers before the war in repre-
sentation of the two lovely daughters
of ex-senator Preston, OF South Carolina.
The Senator was then enormously wealthy
and the works cost him very large sum.
They were brought to Carolina. When the
Union armies overranithat section the figures
were taken down and buried in the garden
The soldiers came along one day and MOTTO
ing freshly disturbed dirt, thrust their
bayonets into the ground, chipping chunks
from the busts. The figures were dug up
and left lying in the sun for weeks. Later,
the father of the girls, who had
by this time lost his fortune
offered them for sale to a Union officer for
$500, but failed to make sale Not long
afterwards Mr. Corcoran bought them for
$3,00O and placed them in his gallery. GEN
eral, now Senator, Wade Hampton married
one of the daughters, and she can see herself
as she was twenty-five years ago, by visiting
the art gallery at any time 1t is not stated
whether she is Spring or Summer.

Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, June s. Senator Van
Wyck's little-tempest in teapot about the
Niobrana postal route contract, awarded to
John Miner, one of the star-route conspira-
tors, has subjected Second Assistant Postmas-
ter-general Elmer to the annoyance of read
ing no end of uncalled-for and ill-considered
criticisms, the first he has received. The
fact is, he is obliged to award contracts for
carrying mail to the lowest re-
spebtable bidder; he has no alter
native. Miner bid lowest for the work,
gave security for the performance of the
contract, and he got it The route in ques-
tion was petitioned for by Senator Mander-
son and hundreds of reputable citizens.
A postofice official gave your correspond
ent, tonight, a little inside history of
the reason for Senator Van Wyck's vir-
tuous indignation at the establishing
of the Niobrara star route. The Senator
has been working, he said, for some time
to get the Postoffice Department to put on
postal car service on his railroad, the Bur-
1ington & Missouri, which was finished six
months ago, This road runs from Red Cloud,
Neb., to Denver, Col. The government pays
for this kind of service so much per foot
per car per mile; the road, you
see, receives pay under the con-
tract, whether it has any mail to carry
or not. The weight of the mail, also, is
another item, The distance between Red
Cloud and Denver is about 300 miles. 1--WE
have made estimates of the expense, and find
that it would cost fully $4,000 a year to
establish this service. There are probably
not over 1000 people living along the
line of Vanwyck's road, and the department
hasi refused to grant Mr.. Van Wyck's re-
quest. There is little Inconsistency in his
protesting against the establishment of the
star service mentioned, which will cost only
$1,000 annually, when he wished us to ex-
pend $4,000 practically for his personal
benefit"

Additional Developments in the Mckinney
Defalcaton Case.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, June 8.-To-day has brought
new Developments in the Mckinney defalca-
ton case, and also increased the default to
$16,5o0. Public sentiment is fast turning to
believe that it was a clear steal, as an exam
lnation into his private cash accounts to-day
shows that the first year he was in office he
overdrew his salary $500, after which no
cash account could be found. A rumor has
also developed that there is a woman in the
case. This, together with other facts, shows
that instead OF losing the large amount as
heretofore stated, he has known all the time
that he was defaultlng, and instead of lessen
ing has only increased the sum. The bonds
men will let the law take its course.
