he Smokes, but Does Not Light His CT.
gnrs-Breakiug Himself of the Tobacco
Habit-The Johnstown Rivers.
Senator Spooner. the well-known Repub-
lican representative from Wisconsin, passed
through the city last night with his family
on their way home from Nantucket, where
they have been spending the summer. The
Senator was taking his usual dry
smoke, by biting the end of Is
cent cigar. AT different times number of
gentlemen offered him lighted matches
while putting his unlit Henry Clay, and
the Senator had hard time letting them
know he did not smoke. He chews the
ends of about half dozen cigars daily, but
never smokes them. In explanation of his
strange habit he said he has been trying to
stop smoking since April 27, and cannot
give up his cigar altogether. ''It is
wonderful" he said, "how the mere
mechanical action of putting a cigar in
ones mouth becomes q habit that canno.
easily be broken. To a man who has
smoked necessarily for Is years. and wants
to break himself gradually, the conscious
ness of biting at cigar is consoling"
In regard to politics, the Senator said he
had been away so long that he had given no
thought of anything but enjoying the sea
breezes. he stated that he did not think Cor
gress would make an appropriation to dredge
the rivers at Johnstown. 'There is no
pretext for il" he said "and notwithstand-
ing the condition of the place, Congress has no
right to do it. You could not make the
Conemaugh river navigable, and any ap-
preparation used in the way suggested.
would be unconstitutional
