Mr.. CABELI., Of Amherst, has recent.

prevent the sale Of cigarettes 10 minors.
IL the purpose Of this bill can be eff
-fected by legislation, and there is 10
reason why it cannot be. to an import
ant extent at least, then ii is To be hoped
that the measure proposed by Mr. Cabell
will meet Mi.h no opposition when put
upon its passage. Cigarette smoking
among minors is much more injurious
in It's consequences than dram drinking

THERE seems to be an inclination on
the part of the members Of our Legis-
lature to accept the explanation Of the
patrons of bills, that the objects Of the
latter are purely local, as a sufficient
reason for not examining very closely
into the character and probable scope
Of such bills. In consequence Of this
fact, there is a constant danger Of some
bill with a supposed local bearing being
passed that 10 really as wide in its bear
ing az the State itself, and probably
concealing in its terms some general
purpose capable Of development that
is most injurious to the interests Of the
citizens of the whole Commonwealth.

IT seems like an act Of special Provi-
dence that the tie in the Montana Sem
ate between the Democrats and Repuo-
licaus should be broken in favor Of the
Democrats by the intervention OF the
popular disease of La Grippe. Let US
hope that the Republican Senator at
tackled by it will remain 90 long indis-
posed that the Democrats will be able
to bring the existing deadlock to
close. Nowhere have the Republicans
proclivIty for political stealing been
more fully illustrated than in the bis
tory of the Montana muddle, and II
would seem only to be their just deserts
if they can be disconnected in their un-
scrupulous intentions in that infant
Commonwealth.

The immense power still exercised by
the Emperor in Austria Hungary Is
strikingly illustrated by his success in
bringing about complete rsconcilia-
ton Of all differences between the
Czechs and Germans in Bohemia. This
was apparently an impossible task, for
the conflict between the two rival par
ties was such that they declined to sit
in the same Diet, As the presence Of
the German minority was indis-
pensable in order to secure the
requisite quorum for the enact
ment Of new statutes or the re-
peal Of old ones, ali Parliamentary
legislation at Prague had come to q
etandstill. The main cause OF the dis
pute was the Czech demand for home
rule and autonomy for Bohemia as com.
pleto rs that possessed by Hungary.
This was opposed by the German popu-
lation OF the ancient Kingdom Of st.
Wencenslas. on the saILe grounds that
the men Of Ulster oppose Ireland s plea
for home rule. The Germans in B0he-
mia number about two million, to three
million Czechs. and complain bitterly
Of the oppression TO which they are
subjected by the majority.

PATRIOTISM STIRRED.

This dastardly act excited the utmost in
dignati0n in the town. especially when II
was umOred that the Governor had ordered
All the locks 10 be taken from of the
muskets left in the magazine; had actually
put arms into the hands Of his servants and
Indians. and had large supply OF loaded
muskets at the palace. The news soon
spread over the adjoining country. People
il0cked 10 the town, and were, with great
difficulty, prevented from attacking the
Governor at his home. A meeting Of the
town authorities was held at once, and the
Mayor instructed 10 demand the immediate
return of the powder and arms 20 the maya

FOrtifying the Narrows.

The two tracts OF land at the Narrows

ditional fortification Of New York Har-
Dor comprise in all, apparently, about
two hundred and twenty acres. They
are contiguous to the present works at

works will be utilized in the future
system Of defense. In addition there
will be batteries at Sandy Hook.
While acquisition of 80 much land

BILE expense to start with, il
is "A small matter compared with

IRAN ORT'> 81 FIRE.
The Chillicothe Fire Department Re.
spOnds to q Caii for Help.

Last Wednesday morning at 2 o'clock
fire broke out in Porter's bakery in
Frankfort, Ross county, and spread with
great rapidity, destroying the Concord
Hotel and residence, besides damaging
other residences and stores. The loss is
about $4,000. The Chillicothe Adrer.
tiser thus describes the trip of the special
train carrying the fire engine to the re-
lief OF the burning town:
About half.past two, when the fire was
at it's height and threatened the destruc.
ton OF the town, telephone message
was sent to the Chillicothe Fire Depart
ment asking for assistance, saying third
OF the business portion of the town was
on fire, and was beyond the control of
the bucket brigade.
Chief Hammel at once decided to send
the old Bonser engine from House No. 2
and the old No hose reel and about
200 feet OF hose that had been put on
it for safe keeping. The Chillicothe De-.
pY Yrtment has not used fi,e engine since
the construction of the present water
system, and therefore has no engineer
connected with the force, and while
Chief Hammel was telephoning with the
railroad officers for a special train, a mes
senger was sent 10 waken the former en-.
gineer, Mr.. Gregory Studer. About for
ty five minutes after the receipt of the
message, the engine and hose reel had
been made ready and loaded on two flat
cars at the B. & o. S.W depot ready to
start, and twenty minutes afterwards
were in Frankfort. The running time,
deducting seven minutes delay at Mus
selmans for transfer, was about mile a
minute. The men who went with the
engine were Chief Hatnmel, Val Brook.
