Cigarette Smoking Dying Out.

A good deal of nonsense has been written,
mainly in erotic, sensational novels that
pretend to picture high life in our great
cities as it is. We have all read of the wine
and cigarettes and all that in the women;s
clubs IN those cities. The word paintings
of boudoirs where ladies reclined in luxuri-
Gus easy chairs. rolled cigarettes with their
dainty fingers and smoked them with al
the abandon of giddy ParlSians, are famiiA
lar to US all. have never met any one who
has seen these things, but the erotic
writers say they exist, and, of course. that
ought to settle it, whether it does or not.
A trevehng salesman for great tobacco
house, who has the sin upon his soul of
having sold hundreds of thousands OF cigar
ettes, told me the other day that the cigar
cite craze, or habit or whatever else YOU.
may call it, IS on the decline. He is authors
lty far the statement that the output of Gig
arettes is not anything as large as it was
two or three years ago. Five years ago
there were millions of dollars invested ir
the manufacture of these denominations.
Packages of faeorite brands were shipped
by the hundreds OF millions of packages a
year.
This is very much changed now. Great
tobacco manufacturers still turn out cigar
cites in large numbers, but they are giving
their attention to improved brands Of cigar
cites that will not be so cheap or so injurious
as the cheap paper-covered affairs of few
years ago, with their nicotine poison and
other evil qualities The improved cigars
elite being expensive to certain extent,
will not be so favored by small boys. AS
for men, cigarettes are not popular with
them. as rule. any more, while, as for the
women, would advise my erotic friends to
hereafter picture women in high life as
smoking clay pipes in their hours CT ease.
1t will be as true as their other pictures
and viii be more taking.
cannot imagine, though, that many win
mourn because the cigarette has fallen upon
evil times. FOSTER CoATEs.

Edward N. rleld.s Faithful WIG.

One of the saddest scenes that could well
be imagined is that of faithful and loving
wife visiting her husband in prison. Every
day Mrs. Edward NJ Field, clad in black,
the tear stains visible on her pale but still
beautiful face, goes to Ludlow street Jail to
see and try to comfort her husband. My
mind goes back to the happy period of the
devoted wife's life, before the quicksands
of speculation had begun to drag down her
husband and engulf him in ruin and insan-
itY. She was young when she married in
1877 and although she has five boys and a
only fond wife can feel for her husband,
she IS still well preserved and beautiful
Rather petite and brunette, she bears a
strong family resemblance TO her parents

and relatives, the Llndleys, Her father
was noted missionary, and while he re-
sided in Natal. South Africa, she was born.
After seeing life in Cape Colony, Miss
Lindley came to New York. Her educa-
ton was completed, and the missionary's
daughter, when she bloomed into woman
hood, was highly accomplished and attract
i've. In society she was much admired.
When she married the son Of Cyrus W.
Field, there was great stir in society.
Mrs. Field has been a devoted wife and
mother, and she is as loyal to her husband
to-day as when she plighted her troth at
the altar

bewildering, inspiring.
But these were not all New York women,
although the danes of this city are fair
enough in good sooth In the shopping
neighborhood and on the promenades now
you will see women from Boston, from Chi
cago, from Philadelphia, from St. Louis,
from New Orleans and from San Francisco.
Mort than this, you will see fair DANES
from Paris ana London. Some of the more
experienced critics say they can tell a
woman from Boston from one from Chi
cago, and one from ST. Louis from another
claiming San Francisco as her home. There
IS good deal of humbug about this, end
yet there is modicum of truth in it, too.
A Boston woman has, of course, an indi-
viduality of her own. She has somewhat
lost faith in Howells, but she still worships
idols of an intense sort and in an intense
way. But she is handsome, and if she does
wear dainty glasses on a pretty nose, and
largely for effect, you must admit
that the effect is good. The Chi
cago girl used to be described
as being breezy and loud As a matter of
fact, she is now very like her New York
sister since the latter has gone in for OPEN
hour sports. The New York and Chicago
girls now have physiques not inferior to
those of their brothers. Indeed, this is in
many cases putting it mildly. As for
beauty, they are in that quality which the
New York gamin pronounces out of sight.
The Southern beauties are not brunettes to
the same extent as formerly, and any one
who expects the San Francisco girl to be
very different from her Eastern cousins ex-
poets too much. To admire all these you
must see them together, and then note the
picture, and if you do not admire it pity
you.

Getting Ready for the Rush to Europe.


To properly appreciate the great rush
from America to Europe that now takes
place every year one has but to visit the
| offices here of the ocean steamers, as I did
the other day, and D0te the number of per-
sons already booking summer passages. 1t
is, to say the least, surprising, when you
consider that summer is yet several months
away. OF course, it is not new thing to
engage passage long time ahead, but this
has been done mainly by business men who
have TO cross the big pond several times a
year, and can take no chances of diSappoint-
ment by delay. Nor is it strange in the
case of some of the men and women of
leisure in New York, who usually cross in
parties and who, in order that they may be
sure of being in company, make all arrange
ments months ahead.
But this year the |hole country seems to
be adopting the same methods that few
New Workers formerly did. Not only are
Gothamites pre-empting the best places on
the crack boats, but men from Chicago and
st. Louis and San Francisco and all over
the country who may happen in town take
run around to the steamship offices and
book good Staterooms in the best ships.
Still more are conducting negotiations by
mail and telegraph, and if present indica-
tons amount to anything the rush to Europe
this season viii be something enormous and
unprecedented. even by the crush of last
summer. 1t will be rather am using if New
Workers, who in the past have had so much
fun at the expense of uufortunates from
the West and South, who had neglected to
take time by the forelock and secure good
accommodations on the steamers, should
this year find the tables turned and all the
best places taken up by outsiders.

Committee, providing for 10000, 900 SOU

Representative Cummings' bill, equal

fixes the pay Of letter carriers In all free

McAleer of Pennsylvania introduced
in the House resolution requesting the
Secretary OF State to inquire into the
cause of arrest and imprisonment Of DIR.
Thomas Gallagher in England. The res

convicted and sentenced to imprisonment
for life through political prejudice, which
existed against Irish persons in England.
He was sentenced in 1883, nine days
after his arrival in England. The reso-
luton was referred to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs.
The action OF the House in rejecting
the first two conference reports presented
this session on the regular annual appro-
priation bills has given rise to much un-
favorable comment among Senators.
There is no doubt that 1t has seriously
jeopardized the prospects OF an early ad-
journment OF Congress. Bad blood has
been engendered on both sides, and GER
tain Senators stated recently that Con

atorial programme is to sit it out in quiet
dignity, but some members of the House
threaten in that case that the House will
refuse to pass any resolution extending
the appropriations for the support of the
government beyond July % next. Of
course, no one believes either House will
pgoceed TO such extremity, but the talk
shows the strength OF the feeling.

Industrial Association. in France.

There are in France 877 associations
of employers, S91 of workingmen and
697 of farmers. The workingmen's
associations, which were formerly po-
litical organizations, have become for
the most part purely mutual benefit
societies of late years. The agricult-
ural societies do not agitate political
" like our grangers. They are to a
large extent cooperative and techni-
cal. The Farmers association near
Fontainebleau, for instance, owns a
slaughter house at which every mem
ber has his cattle killed at very low
prices. This and other similar coop
erative devices of the French farmers
associations show that the French
peasant is not so stupid and helpless
as he is generally supposed to be. :
