woRKISe OF Hon LICENSE AT PrrrssuRs.-
At Pittsburg, Pa, ii is found that the operation
OF the Brooks law. the sales of beer stamps for
the month Of October last was S32 .000 as
against $4,000 worth sold in October, 1857.
This indicated that there we're 5000 barrels Of
beer less sold during the last month than there
were during the month Of October one year
ago. According to that estimate there viii be
3,072.0o0 gallons Of beer less drank this year by

Washington Liked by Britishers.

From the London World
In the old days, when Washington was but a
big village, the post of minister to the United
States was the least liked of all the chief diplo-
matte appointments, but now that Washington
is beautiful city, and the Mecca of the best
people in the union, things are very different.
With stipend Of $4,000 a year and allowances,
an excellent house, good society, a charming
climate and no laws of the Modes and Per-
slams as to entertaining, the Washington lega-
ton isan enyiable billet. Sir Edward Thorn
ton was a sad man the day he turned his back
on the red house in Connecticut avenue. Ex-
cept IN war time, Lord Lyons liked Washing
ton very much, and Lord Sackville was not dis
contented with his lot until he delivered him
self facile prey to the willy ssMurchison-''

She Smoked too Many Cigarettes

kHkrrf MRS. WALTER, OF CHICAGO, BECOMES
INSANE PROM EXCESSIVE SMOKING
From the Chicago Times
When Mrs. Sarah Walter began. a couple of
years ago, to smoke cigarettes she was a fine.
handsome woman of twenty-six with voluptu-
Gus figure and fresh complexion that were the
envy Of her society friends.
When Mrs. Sarah Walter was declared home
lessly and incurably insane in the county court
yesterday her refined nature still asserted itself
IN the innocent coquetry of fashionable attire
but she was a mental and physical wreck. and
both her husband and her brother testified that.
IN their opinion, the terrible change had been
wrought by the excessive use of the seductive
little rolls of drugged tobacco and rice paper.
The unfortunate woman's flesh and attractive
complexion had been altered to the hideous
sallow usually observed in the opium-eater.
her eyes were wild. with the pupils unusually
dilated; her shrunken hands twitched nerv
ously, and with her long finger-nails she had
scratched raw spots In the flesh of her chin and
right cheek.
There she sat, a wreck and a maniac, lauph-
ing idiotically, when her trial was going on.
put quiet Tor the most part and longing for
nothing so much as a package of cigarettes.
Mrs. Walter, who Is now twenty-eight years
old and still shows traces of former beauty, is
the wife Of Joseph G. Walter travelling sales
chants, 162 and 1874 Kinzle street He resides
at 237 Huron street, but the nature of his bust
ness compels his absence from home most of
the time Mrs. Walter was thus left much
alone, and 1t was a very facile descent from
Puritan ideas on the subject of tobacco to the
Bsyety and novelty OF cigarette seances in pri-
vase pariors with her lady acquaintances.

il went our way, and happy it's over"
The barber began to scrape. while the friend
kept on talking. combining himself generally to
the possible condition of AIr. Whitney's poll
teal finances.
While tine barber reached for his brush Mr.
Whitney got chance to say that Frank Howe
sent him check for $500 on the general
suit.
The barber suspended operations until he
caught Mr.. Whitney looking at him inquir-
ingly. He seraped one side of the millionaire's
chin clean, and about to begin on the
other side when Mr.. Whitney remarked that he
had just received a check from Stanton for
$500.
ION WHAT" inquired his friend
Il bet that Erhardt would come in second"
was the reply.
The barber gazed at his customer admir-
idgly and sighed. he began work again. but
he couldn't get those checks out of his head
Besides, he wanted more information, 80 he
went 70 one side to strop his razor.

four clubs of my own down here. and had meet

We only got 1900. They got in on US. and

ton"
The barber went on stropping.

friend.

The barber went on strOpping.
There was silence in the shop for full min

the razor as ii came in contact with the strop
Up and down, regular as pay day in the Sun
once, went the razor. The millionaire stood
II for another minute. Then he suggested.
John, don't you think you'd better get another
razor"
