Mrs. j. Ward Succumbs After Having
Endured Great Agony
About O'clock on Thursday evening Mrs.
j. Ward, who kept small grocery OH n and
Seventh avenue, South San Francisco,
started to light her lamps, by which she kept
her store lighted, and one of them slipped
from her hand. She wore a thin wrapper,

Her screams attracted the attention of
passers-by, who quickly subdued the flames.
She was horribly burned, however, before
aid reached her. The unfortunate woman
was removed to aihOuse in the neghborhuod
and DR.. Mclaughlin called in to relieve her
sufferings. Everything possible was done
for Mrs. Ward, no endured the most horrl-
BILE agony, but she died several hours later.

NO MORE SMOKING.
Cigarettes Prohibited to Inmates of the
City Prison.

SiEaretCeB IrOhiDlted to inmates OF the
City Prison.
Chief of Police Crowley issued an order
yesterday prohibiting the taking of cigarettes
into the City Prison for The use of prisoners.
This will be heavy blow to the opium
fiends and unfortunate women, who const-
tute by far the greatest number of inmates,
for when arrested their first request would
be for cigarettes, and messenger-boys would
be employed 10 obtain the coveted article.
In many of the packages delivered to
them wonld be small consignments Of
opium. Visitors from other cities who OBJ
tanned permission to inspect the City Prison
could not pass through at any hour without
seeing prisoners in almost every cell putting
away at cigarettes, and the abuse OF the
privilege induced Chief Crowley to issue the
strict orders in question.
The order also requires all prison-keepers
to examine each package taken into the
prison, In 0rner TO see that no cigarettes are
being Struggled into the station. All such
articles will in the future be confiscated.
