As TO that BILL.
The Anti Cigarette Bill Worry
ing the Solons.
TAXES ON TRANSITORY HERDS.
Making the Stealing Of Five Sheep Grand
Larceny-The Bee Bill Substitute
The Council "Repents."

The anti cigarette bill recently intro
auced in the House, and which passed
that body with but little, if any difficulty,
promises to be as great bug-bear as was
The barb wire fence bill of two years ago.
When the House turned the bill over to
the Council, it merely provided for the
punishment of the party who gave or sold
cigarettes or other forms of tobacco,
opium, or other narcotics to minors. The
Council, however, was not satisfied with
this and added section making the use by
a minor under eighteen years of any of
the articles mentioned a crime and
providing rather severe punish
ment. Mr.. Benner and others. fought
the amendment in the Council, but
they were defeated, and that body
adopted a substitute for the House bill,
Incorporating that provision, not, however,
without considerable Of wrangle and
several very warm debates. A day or so
ago, the substitute came back to the House
and was referred to the committee on
public health. Yesterday that committee
reported, recommending that the House
concur in two of the sections of the Council
substitute and reject two. The recon-
mendation was adopted, and conference
committee appointed. 1t now looks as
though the measure would be defeated
ON STEALING SHEEP.
MIR. Booth yesterday introduced in the
Council a bill providing as follows: eAny
person who shall feloniously take, drive,
lead or carry away five sheep shall be
guilty of grand larceny"
