Apropos Of Il paragraph about cigarettes which APP
neared in this column the other day. highly respected
physician writes to say that the odor OF cigarettes Is
that Of OPIUM the effect on the smoker Is that OF opium
and that all doctors know this 10 be a fact. This
statement was submitted to a gentleman who knows
what he is talking about, and this Is what he says
Every well-informed doctor and laymaA KNOWS that
there Is not one milllonth OF grain OF opium In
100000 ordinary cigarettes OF course very
slight infusion OF opium may be found In Turkish
cigarettes but think In any made In this coun-
try. And know positively that the great majority OF
cigarettes have opium in them at ALL Inc ldea
that they have is a crazy deuson."

The Canal Investigating Committee steered
clear Of dangerous witnesses yesterday ana dld
not press the men examined for suggestions re-
gardng the scope and methods of the inquiry
Hence there was no such sensational episode
as on the previous day, when Senator Erwin
told the committee plainly what he thought OF
their farcical work. Yesterdays witnesses in
cluded number of canal contractors, who all
swore stoutly that they had no mixing OF such
a thing as canal ring. Only one of them con-
fessed that he was contributor to Democratic
election funds With plenty of such witnesses
General Mcmahon will be able to draw M a
report showing to his entire satisfaction that
the Canal Department is one Of the purest
things on earth.

THEY COME.


They come, the merry insect train,
The borers and the dippers;
The little gnats waltz In again,
And exc the galinippers,
The vari-cOOred ants, the flies
That ttllate our features,
The bee with penetrating lies,
And sundry sundrfed creatures.
The weevil and the cutworm now
DO polish up their armor,
The chlnch bug makes his veTnh DOW
In ambush for the farmer
The weird curculiO setteth out
To mad the fruit tree tlers,
And in each garden turks about
Ten billion caterpillars.
The culex pilates agitate
Their understandings furry,
And move from out the larvae state
To subjugate New-Jersey.
The beetle dons his working clothes,
The moth is redivivus, ~
The moth throws OIL his attic ooso
And threatens TO enllve us.
All. yes The hymonoptera,
The diptera. and so forth,
Hemipiera, orthopiera,
Etcetera, will go forth
Ere long our peace OF mlnd Is " roast,
our hides to stab and polish

The prompt conviction of two Of the alleged
New Orleans jury-bribers tends to restore conf
dence in the administration OF justice in the Cres-
cent City. For some months what with the
outrages OF unauthorized committees and the
vaporings of hot-headed officials who ought TO
have known better, Ncw-Oreans has not been IL
comfortable place 10 live in. The present result
is the moro gratifying in view of the desperate
efforts of the accused TO block the prosecution.
Several OF the iury-bribers still remain To he
tried. 1t would be calamity If future iuries
should show themselves less jealous and intelli-
gent or If the DistrctAttorney should grow weary
before the turn of the arch-ofender is reached.

The visitor is favored in Washington.
You can buy six tickets for 25 cents,
good on any car. AS w approached
Washington's wonderful monument
it appeared to grow larger, and behold,
l saw three shadows of the sun at one
time. 1t struck me with great force,
as it did Belshazzar, when he SAY the

This monument was completed in
1884. It. is composed of Maryland mar
BILE; is So feet square at the base; 35t at
the top of the 500-foot mark; is 555 feet
high; and was the loftiest artificial
structure in the world when built. It
cost 81. 300, coo. We assembled 500 feet
in an elevator and wonderful was the
view. Street cars looked like small tin
toys and ladies looked like dolls.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
has decided that ''A man may shave
himself, OF have his servant shave him,
on the Lords day, without a violation
Of the Sunday law Of 1894, ofthat State.
But the keeping open of a place of bust
ness OH that day by a barber and fol-
lowing his worldly employment Of shay
ing his customers is quite another mat
ter, and while We conclude that 1t may
be a great convenience to many persons,
we are not prepared to say, as a ques-
ton of law, that it is an act of necess-
ity."
This decision will apply as well to CT
gar stores. 1t is becoming too much of
a habit for men to not buy their cigars
until Sunday. The allowing of some
to do business on the Lords day is an
injustice to those who observe the Sab
bath and by enforcing the Sunday law
such stores would loose no custom for
If men knew they could not buy on
Sunday they would purchase a supply
on Saturday. If all would observe the
Sabbath they would be as well off and
have a day of rest and recreation to
themselves.

Sole Proprietors
OF THE
GOLDEN IRISH
Irvine and Netting.

Regardless of the advanced duty on
Irvine, we are at present selling Irvine
and Netting at the same price as last
year. We now have ten American ma
chimes operated by the best workmen in
the factory, employed on our netting and
arc turning out about 5000 pounds of
netting per month.
We would advise u patrons to place
their orders promptly, as we do not guar
antee that the price will remain the same
throughout the season, and all orders
tention at old prices and goods be held at
our store subject to purchasers order.
We have an unusually fine stock of net
ting and Irvine this year and think it
would be to the fishermen's advantage to
call and examine it.

At the township elections held this
Spring the official ballots, envelopes
and booths will not be used. Senator
Werts in bis explanation of the law
says:
ITO the Town Meetings Tor town
ship elections) the first 10 sections of
the law apply so far as the same are
applicable (see sec. 1917 but note of the
sections of the law from section 20 to
section 40, both inclusive, relate to, or
apply to the town meeting elections (see
sec. SOY.
1.-THE result is y that elections of
the third kind-the town meetings-are
to be held and conducted by the local
boards Of election appointed by the
County Boards Of Registry, and the poll
clerks appointed by the local boards.
"In all other respects and particulars
the town meetings are to be held and
conducted without the attendants of
official ballots, envelopes and booths)
exactly as though the Ballot Reform
Law had never been passed.
