Timely Warning.

[Dr. Fordgee Barker in Mail and Express.]
''The cigarette is responsible for al
most all the evils caused by tobacco.
Growing boys commence to use them
before their physical powers are devel-
oped, the coating of their stomachs
become ruined and their growth
stunted. They will often become weak,
puny men, and in the interest of hui
manity a stringent law should be
passed making it a penal offense for
boys to smoke or for dealers to sell
cigarettes to them. Such law is in
force in France. Cigarettes are so cheap
that every boy can procure them, and
they are now very generally sold in
broken packages, SO that the newsboy
or bootblack can buy one or two
cents worth. This is nothing short of
criminal. The cigarette is worse than
the cigar or pipe, because the burning
paper, which is often said to be pois-
onous, adds an extra irritant. Cigar
cite smokers, for some reason, never
know when to stop, and almost invari-
able drift into excess. Some years ago
chewing was all the rage, but it is now
considered vulgar habit, and unfort-
unately cigarette smoking, which is far
more hurtful, has taken its place.

TO JOIN THE KNIGHTS.
Important Action of Representative TIE
legraphers,

legraphers.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June ia very Sc
cret session of the delegates to the
convention of the Brotherhood of
Telegraphers, was held in this city yes
terday. The delegates we're from all
parts of the United States, and sever
al of the most prominent were those
who were active in the great telegra-
piers strike of 1888. Ever since that
time the fraternity have been quietly
organizing upon g. sound basis, but
they have found it necessary to be
very cautious in their movements, and
it was for this reason that
the convention was held with
such secrecy. The meeting was
harmonious throughout and 81
large amount of work was accom-
plished. Heretofore the Brotherhood
has been an independent organization,
the various local councils formulating
such rules and bylaws as were deemed
necessary for their proper government.
The rapidity, however, with which the
organization has increased of late, has
made it necessary to more thoroughly
systematic the working of the sepa-
rate councils under a general head. 1t
was for this purpose that the conven-
ton was called and after mature de-
liberation it was unanimously resolved
to fall in line under the banner of the
knights of Labor. This was the prin-
cipal business of the meeting and it was
completed. Theconvention adjourned

The excitement in the city of Lon
don and throughout England on the
7th was great. In the House of Com
mons the scenes attending the intro
duction of the Home Rule bill were re-
peated. At noon 100 seats had been
"hatted" and at the hour of opening
the session the house was crowded to
it's utmost capacity. John Bright
and Lord Harrington were loudly
cheered by the opposition as they en-.
tered. Mr.. Gladstone came in at 400
O'Clock and proceeded straight to his
seat. When his presence was
noticed he was greeted with
tremendous cheering, the Parnellites,
who were in good voice, making,
themselves heard above the rest. The
Premier wore white rose in his lapel
The government, as was expected, was
defeated on the second reading of Glad
stones Irish Home Rule bill. The di'
vision resulted in 81 votes for the
measure and BAL against it. When
the result was announced Mr.. Glad

CHICAGO INCENDIARIEs.
Eight Lives Lost In a Tenement House
List of the Dead.

List of the Dead.
Eight lives we're lost IN fire of in
cendiary origin at 731 and 733 South
Canal Street, Chicago, early on the
morning Of the 7th. The buildings are
both frames, and the timbers were we'll
seasoned by reason OF age. When the
fire started it was only few moments
before both houses were In flames.
The fire started from tub in the
basement of 733 Canal Street. 1t had
been standing in the middle of the
floor and was filled with unclean linen.
In this q great quantity of coal-oil had
been thrown by theincendiary. Some
oil had evidently been spilled on the
basement floor also. When q match
was touched to the oil the blaze imme-
diately fared up to the floor above,
and also ran along the floor toward
both the front and rear. The door
leading to the first floor had been
broken open and caused a draft which
sucked the fire up the stairway and
also caused it to communicate with
the adjoining house at 731 Canal
Street. When once the fire had reached
the first floor of 733, it was carried
up the stairway to the floor above in
an incredibly short space OF time. The
woodwork burned like finder, and
from the tact that all over the house
the framework was only partially re-
duced to cinders can be drawn the
conclusion of how quickly the flames
spread. The names of the VIC
Tins whose bodies were rescued
and taken to the morgue were:
Michael Murphy, aged IS years, an
employe of the South Division Rail
way Company, Mrs. Annie Murphy,
wife of Michael, aged 40 years, Nellie
Murphy, II years of age, Annie Muir
ply, 1Oyears old, Aggie Murphy, year
of age, Mrs. Mary Durkin, aged %
years, Patsy LAWN, 4 years, a son of
Mrs. Durkin by former marriage,
William Hahn, aged about 68, a
butcher. Only one member of the
Durkin and Murphy families was res
cued, small 6-weeks-old child, whose
life was saved by being wrapped up in
large shawl, which kept the smoke
and heat from it. The others were
found in the same room, dead, having
been suffocated to death.

and it nearly broke the clerks heart
to explain that dogs were not prop

"But what to do?" asked
the distressed beauty; "they won't
sell me a ticket for him. [ would
much rather take him with me in the
car, and Sam would rather go, too,
wouldn't you Sam?"
Once more Sam emitted canine
affirmative, and, planting his fore
paws on the window ledge, he looked
into the clerks face, as if to await the
verdict. The clerk settled the diff
Guilty by calling the baggagemaster of
the train, who was in the rear of the
room looking over the days cargo.
The lady's dilemma was explained
and he good-naturedly agreed to take
charge of the dog, and his kindness
did not go unrewarded, as there was

from the San Francisco Alta.1
A drummer, with an immense zinc
covered case of hardway samples, was
next in line, and he paid for 100
pounds extra at the rate of thirteen
cents per pound without q murmur.
When it came to handling it on the
truck even the stalwart and expert
smasher looked puzzled, but, on the
reporters suggesting that he try the
mlnd-cure on in, he deity wheeled the
huge thing over and over on it's cor
ners until he WAS able to up-end it
into position. Then Chinaman
came to the front, and required a dia-
grained explanation of the manner in
which he was to recover his rice mat
full OF blouses and fat-legged pants at
the end of his journey. A pretty lady
from the interior struggled though the
throng, towing q huge, black New
foundland dog, whose name was Sam.
She wanted Sam checked, and ex-
planned that he was very kind and
gentle. Saint you, Sam?" she con-
cluded, appealing to her big, kindly
pet for confirmation. Sam wagged
his tail and barked resonant assent,

exposed, the entire face of the bluff for
at least 500 feet is g. solid bed, chief

parts highly impregnated with copper.

percentage of alum, cuts through the
mountain and is plainly visible from

posit is northwest and southeast,
although no trace of the mineral is
found on the east side of the creek. In
many places the deposit closely re-
sembles the carbonate beds which &C.

Tribute TO FITZ-JNO. PORTER.
By Brig. Gen. GibboD, at the West FOinS
Exercises To-Day.

WEST POINT, n. Y, June 12.-The
graduation exercises were held here this
morning. A large platform was erected In
the grove in front of the library for the dis
tinguished guests, the academy and military
staff and their families. About 1000
other spectators occupied chairs:
stools and benches in front OF
the platform; and over all was
stretched a huge awning. At 1920
O'Clock batallions marched with elegant
precision from the barracks, and took the
places assigned them. Secretary OF War
Endicott occupied the seat OF honor, with
Gems. Sheridan and Merritt on either side.
The academic and military staff sat on
the right and the board os visitors on the
left. The baDd played national airs. Chap-
lain Postlethwaite asked divine blesslng,
and Gen. Merritt introduced Brig. Gen.
Gibbon, who made the principal address.
1t abounded in recollections Of his cadet
life and the pranks he used to play. He
never considered harmless professional
''deviling'' injurious. He referred to his
classmates as he knew them here
and again in after life. Said he:

next season, if not this summer. The
idea is simply this, to lend some
special significance to q card OF invita-
ton, and no longer have it an en-
graved bit of conventional paste
board, but a work of art, indicating
by some captivating picture the ma
ture of the entertainment to be given.
These cards cost like the mischief, but

The King OF Spain.

A correspondent of the London
Times writes: "May I point out that
the curious fortune of Alfonso XIII,
the king o. Spain, is not altogether
without historic parallel? In the year
800 died Hormisdas H., king of Per-
STA. Agathias tells the. rest of the
story very strangely, ~. rs. The
magi, having by some means discov-
cred the sex of the future heir, the
pregnant wife of the late king
was solemnly crowned vicariously
for her son. Fortunately for their
lives, the surmise of the wise
men turned out correct; and after a
short time the young porphyrogenite,
Sapor, was born. Thus he enjoyed
an equal term Of empire and life The
story is also told by Gibbon."

WARRING POLES.
Church Difficulty at Pittsburg Tia
Threatens TO End in Blood.


PITTsBURG, Pa, June 11.-There is
war in the Polish colony On the South
Side, arising out of the organization
OF the Polish Hussars of John III. of
Sobieski, in St. Adalbert's Church,
South Fifteenth Street, by Charles D..
Nowak. Mr.. Nowak, after obtaining
the consent of Bishop Phelan, enrolled
thirty-seven members, but has met
with strenuous opposition from
Father Miskiewics, the priest Of ST..
Adalbert's. He claims that the priest
at first gave his consent to the organ
Ization OF the society, but afterwards
at the instigatiOn of some men,
bers withdrew it. Father Miskiewics
both last Sunday and the Sunday
previous denounced the society from
the pulpit, saying that the members
were not Catholics and warning his
congregation not to Join it. Theparty
feeling runs high. Father Miskiewics
says he has received an anonymous
letter threatening to blow his house
up with dynamite, or end his life IN
some way. Two of his supporters
guard his house every night to keep
away the dynamiters. On the other
hand, members of Nowak's party
claim that the priest has armed his fe-
male supporters with knives with
which all the Hussars are to be assas-
sinated at mass on Sunday morning.
Each party denied. the accusation Of
the other as to its sanguipary inten-
tions. Father Miskiewics proposes to
organize rival society to the Hussars,
to be called the Knights Of ct. Kaspar,
which will be composed of strict Cath
olics.
