ADVICE By A JOLLY SNOKER.
Chesp Cigars COndenned-When To Indulge
snd When TO Abstain.

when / first began to smoke" said
the Old Smoker, you could buy cigars
for two cents apiece, and they were
scented with musk and cinnamon.
There's no good reason why a good cigar
shouldn't be sold for ten cents, but nova
days you have got to pay at least twice
that amount for anything of the finest
flavor
81 like a good black cigar" said a
young smoker, ''and you can buy EN- for
ten cents"
Take my advice, young man. said the
Old Smoker, never smoke cheap, black
cigar of the kind YOU name. The color
Is not natural TO the tobacco and Is pro-
duced by dipping the leaves in O chemical
preparation. All large cigar houses,
manufacturers / mean, employ chemists,
and they doctor the tobacco used. When
/ hear Of q smoker having a cancer on
the lip caused by smoking. i make up my
mind that he has been using chemically
prepared tobacco"
II generally go for cigar that has
small yellow spots on the wrapper. r.
marked a genius fresh from Salem.
"And You get sold nine times out Of
are produced by acid. and are not the re-
suit of age, as most people immag;ne. 1
see that you are young man who needs
advice; let me give you little. Never
smoke cigar, at least make practice of
smoking, before you have one good
square meal in your interior. Smoking
on an empty stomach is very hard on the
nerves, and YOU can't do that sort OF
thing long without running the risk Of
suffering from nervous diseases. Ex-
cessive smoking on an empty stomach
often ends in sort of St. Nitus's dance,
and is apt TO injure the optic nerves.
I've known cases of blindness caused by
indiscreet indulgence in smoking.
Never smoke the butt of n cigar you have
laid aside. The end Is clogged with
nicotine, and the smoking of stumpS may
produce a cancer on the lip or tongue"
Il notice sometimes that after smoking
a great deal i have a dull pain III the
vicinity of the heart" said the young
smoker.
when you feel that pain, stop. That
pain is an evidence that you are troubled
with nicotine poisoning as the doctors
call it. Liquor in moderate quantities
Is an antidote."

Narrow Escape OF Casper Baltes Prom In
Jary and Possible Drowning.

Every Astorisn knows Casper Baltes,
who though totally blind has for years
perambulated our streets with no other
aid than that of his walking cane. If
any distractions are placed in his way
his cane apprises him of the fact, but
he justly complains that sometimes
planking is removed from the sidewalk
and no temporary barrier erected TO pre-
vent a blind man from falling IN, even in
the day time. Yesterday the old gentle
man was vending his way to the polls
TO deposite his vote and when on the
sidewalk near Danziger's store, his arm
was providentially seized by two gentle
men just in time to prevent his being
percipitated Is or 20 feet into the water
below. Two planks from the sidewalk
had been temporarily removed and no
protection erected. OF course any person
with the use of his eyes could have seen
the danger, but blind Mr.. Baltes thinks
that at no time should there be any pos
sibility of his meeting with such seri-
Gus mishap as would have occurred TO
him but for the presence and kindness of
MesSrs. Brown and Hanthorn, To whom
he extends his sincere thanks. He re-
quests that this incident may be inserted
in The AsToRIAS in hopes that when any
one has occasion TO move sidewalk plank
ing they will remember there may pos
sibly be a blind man around.

HOT WATER FOR DYSPEPSIA.
Lunch Fiend Who Went Just Trifie Too
Far

1t was at the Occident after the doors
were opened last evening that he fol-
lowed number of men in, and gazing at
the bartender in wistful sort of manner,
gently edged his way to the free lunch
counter. That he had seen free lunches
before cannot be doubted, from the sys-
tematic manner in which he worked
along the table from the cheese bowl to
the pickle dish. The young men left the
place and also left the lunch fiend at
work. Justus gazed at him fiercely as he
wiped up the bar, and muttered some
thing about beats" It made no i'm
preston. Baked beans followed cabbage,
and bologna sandwiches followed the
baked beans. As the once heaped-up
table was gradually relieved of its bur
den the bartender could stand il no
longer.
did you say ale?" he inquired.
mo, not ale, but if you can accommo-
date me with glass of hot water for my
dyspepsia you will confer a favor. for
cold victuals never did agree with me-"
One minute and eight seconds after, the
fiend picked himself from the sidewalk
and, quietly caressing his swollen eye,
murmured: The dyspepsia racket is
played; hot water amt no good without
havoring."

THE RESULT OF TESTERDArS ELECTION.
J. W. HUME ELECTED MAYOR.
4. A. Cleveland Elected Councilman In the
First WArd-ThOs. Dealy Council
man In the Second Ward.

No better weather could be presented
for outside button-holing than yesterday
afforded. The curling mists from the
river foated to the north and by nine
o'clock the sun was shining bright and
warm as in September. By nine o'clock
there was also some bright and warm
shining around the polling places. and
at that hour the polls were opened and
the work of registering votes began. In
the first ward NJ. G. Crosby, G.. w. Ross
and J. c. Trullinger were Judges; L. c.
Norris and Il. Y. Monteith ofiiciated as
clerks. In the second ward w. u. Head
ington, Robt Carruthers and j. w.
Welch were Judges; Doc. O'Brien and
c. w. Shively acted as clerks. b. Il.
Franklin cast the first vote in the first
ward: o. Sovey cast the first vote IN the
second ward.
Hacks profusely covered with banners
and bunting tore up and down the streets,
and tickets and posters were as thick as
flies in a sugar barrel. Groups Of men
stood on every corner discussing, COM
pairing and inauiring; some seemed de-
sirous of knowing if any sugar" was GO
ing, and eyinced a willingness TO have
their curiosity satisfied on that point be-
fore the day was over. Many there were
found To prophesy that At the next muni-
cipal election in Astoria ladies would
have the privilege of the ballot: If they
had that right yesterday IL Is very prob
able that the bright sunshine would have
contributed 10 the feminine vote which
would have been undoubtedly cast.
At the polls, though the usual amount
of bantering and buttonhOling went on,
there was little disturbance, both sides
''getting in their wOrk" by means of men
with punches of tickets at some distance
from the polls, the great majority, how
ever, walking straight up and depositing
their ballot as though IL were religious
duty.
The usual routine Of election day was
enlivened by two pictorial illustrations
done in oil and conspicUously placed, the
truth or falsity of the assertion having
been a much mooted topic during the last
week.
At two O'Clock there were l29 votes cast
in the Second ward and 329 in the First.
The glorious afternoon had brought out
a large number, TO whom the occasion
was a sort of semi-holiday, and seldom
have there been more people seen on the
streets at this season of the year. Some
few there were whose unsteady gait
showed that the arduous duties of cleo
tion day had unstrung their frames. and
as the afternoon wore on an occasional
speech by an impromptu orator here and
there added to the fun and made II
all the more interesting. About three
o'clock James Turk, an alleged candi-
date for the mayoralty, was arrested by
Officer Beasley on a charge of disorderly
conduct. He was promptly bailed out by
George Hill, who put up $50 for his ap-
pearance this afternoon in the police
court,
At six O'Clock the polls closed and the
work of counting the votes began. Fol

The NEW SCHOOL HoUsE.-In writing
of the new school house in District No.
yesterday, no mention was made of the
cost of the completed structure. The
original estimate was about $4,000. At
the time the plans were drawn the lowest
responsible bid was S2S.497, and il was
then decided TO do it by days work. l..
Hartwig directing and experimenting
the work. Several important changes
were found necessary in the plan, nota-
bly, the arrangement of the stairs. As
they are now built q safe exit is at all
times assured, and in case of an alarm of
any kind no danger of panic need be
apprehended. The water closets also.
which, according TO the original plan,
were located in the basement, have, in
accordance with sanitary suggestions,
been built at some distance from the
main structure. Other changes were also
considered necessary, and while the orig
NAL cost of the building is increased. vet
il is the belief of the directors that ii will
be ultimately found the wisest economy
20 complete the building as itnow stands.
The entire cost of the building, furnished
and ready for occupancy, is estimated at
S36,OO. 1t has been suggested that a
stone wall, three feet wide at the base
and two feet wide at the top, on both the
Court and Benton street sides, level with
the school site, would be in keeping
with the rest of the structure. The cost
of such q wall would be about $500. The
Increased expense is a question for the
taxpayers of the district to consider.
