ANOTHER CIGARETTE VICTIM.
Wn, F. Lewis of Brooklyn Sacrifices his
Life to tho Habit.

New YORK, February 2l.-William
F. Lewis, the twenty-four-year-old son
of William Lewis, a pilot, died yester-
day at his home, 693 Putnam avenue,
Brooklyn, from the effects, as is shown,
of excessive cigarette smoking. He had
been confirmed cigarette smoker, and
was so much addicted to the habit that
in the absence of the regular cigarette
he would resort to the use of tea
and even the mere roll Of paper. AL
though he was repeatedly warned by
physicians and others that be was un-
dermining his health and running his
prospects in life, he seemed to be incap-
able of restraining himself, and as he
had no steady employment be smoked
almost continuously, sometimes con-
suming as much as ten packages Of
cigarettes in day.
An autopsy showed eonclusively that
death was the result of neutrality-suspicious.
ing. Coroner Creamer held an inquest,
and the jury brought in verdict of
death from apoplexy, caused by exces-
sive cigarette smoking.

Beware of Imposition!

We desire to inform the public that
Pitchers Castoria is made and put up
in the Laboratory of the Centaur Com
pany, of New York, in but one size
bDttle, and on the outside wrapper the
formula is printed and the fac-simile
signature of "Chas. 81. Fletcher, New
York" No other proposition offere d
as Castoria is genuine. To counterfeit
or initiate either in the name or sigma
ture is criminal ofense. DR.. Pitch
er's Castoria has become valuable
standard family medicine with the in
dorsement of some of the best physi-
clans in America. Don't allow any
one to sell you anything else on the
plea or promise that it is 'just as
good,:" and will answer every purpose,
etc., etc. Castoria is sold by all re-
spectacle druggists and dealers in
medicine.
Do not be deceived when you buy it,
but look we'll at the wrapper and see
if it has the signature Of Chas. H.
Fletcher, New York. No other can
be genuine. Castoria without this
sigpatu re is base fraud.

Cleveland's Cabinet Complete.

LAKEWOOD, n. j., February 22-
Cleveland announced this evening
that he had completed his Cabinet by
the selection of Richard Olney, of Bos-
ton, for Acknowledgement, and Hillary
A. Herbert, of Alabama, for Secretary
of the Navy.
The complete Cabinet is as follows:
Walter @. Gresham, Of Illinois, Sec
retary of State.
John G.. Carlisle, of Kentucky, Sec
retary of the Treasury.
Daniel S. Lamont, of New York,
Secretary of War.
Hillary A. Herbert, Of Alabama,
Secretary of the Navy.
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, Secretary
of the Interior.
J. Sterling Morton, Of Nebraska,
Secretary of Agriculture.
Wilson S. Bissell, of New York,
Postmaster-General.
Richard Olney, of Massachusetts,,
Attorney-General.
The selection of Hillary A. Herbert
for the navy has been expected for sew
raj days, but Olney's name had not
been mentioned in connection with
the Cabinet, and his selection is a sur
prise to everybody, particularly to the
friends of George R. jerks.
Hillary A. Herbert has been in Con-
gress for many Years, and has acted as
chairman of the naval committee Of
the House. He is thoroughly familiar
with the work that has been done
towards placing the United States
Navy on a proper footing, and his
knowledge of the present condition of
the vessels under construction and
which had been planned makes him a
most desirable man for the head Of the
department. His selection is also
practically a promotion.
Richard Olney is one of the leading
practitioners at the Massachusetts Bar.
He has not held any political position
or been prominent in political matters,
but is known as one of the leading
lawyers and substantial citizens of
Boston. His selection gives New En-
gland a representative in the Cabinet,
and that of Herbert gives the South
three positions.

An Aged Riddle.
Published by Request.l

Published by Request
God made Adam of dust,
But thought it best to make me first;
So was made before the man,
To answer Gods most holy plan.
God in me did something see;
He put living soul in me,
Then living soul became
Adam the man gave me my name.
Then God of me did something claim:
He took from me that soul again;
Now I am without a soul,
I plow the deep from pole to pole.
I have no God to serve, no hell to fear,
And I seldom on the earth appear;
But thousands Of people young and old
Will by my death great light behold.
Now search the Scriptures with all
speed;
Give them thought whilst you read
And if my name you don't fad there,
I'll think it strange do declare.

Pensioners Never Die.

According to the enlistment rolls Of
the War Department there were
100000 men enlisted during the
whole of the war, yet, after all these
years, we would be made to believe
that one aud a half millions remain
alive, of the total enlistments. After
deducting the killed or those who died
from disease and the number who have
since died, it is an utter impossibility
for there to be 1900, 900 veterans of the
war remaining.

A Pointer for q Young Man.
1Atlanta Constitution.

A religious contemporary, speaking
of the sharp competition Of modern
life, especially in the cities where there
are at least twenty applicants for every
position, advises young men to first get
the best general education within their
reach, and then learn to do some one
thing better than anybody else can do
it.
The main secret Of success is to- be
found in this pithy piece of advice.
The well educated young man, who is
able to CO something that the world
wants done better than anyb my e,se
can do it, has fortune within his grasp.

On Good English.
From the New York Press. 5

From the New York Press.
LONDON, February lO.-Mr. Brander
Matthews has very kindly sent me bis
book called "Americanisms and Britt
cisms," neat little volume, in which
be discusses many things, but especial
ly our differences of speech and spell
ing. These differences, after all, appear
very slight when they are fairly faced
and put side by side. They are much
less, for instance, than they were hirty
years ago, and there is a tendency,
growing more marked every day, to
adopt the American methods-proba-
bly, because there is so much reading Of
American books. Mark Twain and
Bret Harte have much to answer for.
Here are a few Of the differences in
speech:
American - Railroad ; conductor !;
grade; to switch; depot.
British-Railway; guard; gradient;
to shunt; terminus.
Again:
American-Farmhand; to "stay" at
a place; beets.
British-Agricultural laborer; to
"stop' at a place; beetroot.
NO PERFECT ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
There never has been, Mr.. Matthews
very rightly points out, perfect En-
glish language. There never will be
one; or, at least, when one arrives it
will be like the French Of Racine, not
long spoken; or the Sanscrit of India,
sacred language. There must be al
ways Americanisms, and these. again,
breaking out into new forms in Florida,
say, or Oregon, or South Carolina.
There must be alwaysAustralian words,
Indian words, all kinds Of words.
Wherefore, let not the American be
pufed up with pride because his speech
has words and forms not used in this
country; and let not the English schol-
ar-as was once the unhappy lot Of an
English scholar-fnd himself con-
strained to protest against the use of
new words by nation not his own.
BEsANT HATES AMERICAN SPELLING.
Again, as to the spelling. For my
own part I hate American spelling.
The sight Of the word theatre makes
me feel i'll. Why? Prejudice, my friends,
stupid prejudice and early habit. There
is no reason at all why the Americans,
if they like, should not spell as they do
favor, honor, center, sepulcher, and 50
forth. It would be better if we had a
uniform system, but both here and
across the Atlantic there is 10 reason
or logic or true defense to be set up.
Difference in pronunciation there
must always be. To an American it
must be simply painful to hear oflydy,
byby, hoigh, shoy, and the other pretty
peculiarities of the cockney aud Essex
man. But Mr.. Brander Matthews re-
veals American peculiarities when he
says that he was brought up to make
again rhyme with men, not with vain;
and been to rhyme with pin, not with
seen. Both, of course, are Elizabethan,
and can be found in all old poetry. So,
if we are to remain always Elizabethan,
we should 60 back to these forms. We
are not going to remain Elizabethan;
the language will march on despite
any of our efforts to keep it back. But
the existing photography of English" I"
says our friend very justly, sis not Sc
cred, and to tamper with it is not high
treason" WALTER BEsANT.

HIGGINS BILL OF FARE.
In Which Some Food Is Suggested
Which VIII Not Increase the
Moral Hazard Of Any Mind
Having the Idea.

A young man once who had been
raised in the community, and was
never invited much among the big
bugs, was invited to dine with some
big fellows. At this dining it was
ordered that each one tell tale.
Coming to the aforesaid young man
he could lhink Of no tale to tell ex
cept one having reference to gun.
5 amping his foot upon the fl ,or he
said. "What is that?-it sounds
| Ike gun. BY the way, speaking
of guns," and he told the tale.
There was no moral hazard, but
they all got the idea as to why the
foot made the instt ad of the mind.

A few uegestions to the city
council: You have committed to
you sacred trust, involving the
health, the LIFE, the property and
prosperity of our fair city. What
Is life or property, or prosperity
without health? No city can have
health without perfect sewerage
system. The most important of all
is sewerage.
Another suggestion: "And the
darkness be called night" Dark
ness and night are the coverings and
inducements Of crime. Plenty of
light is the opposite. If this is true,
can we be a.tonished if deeds OF
darkness are Vulnerable in Wacoi
Why should taxpayers be taxed tc
pay for lights which are really
worse than utter darkness and
menace the public safety?
Right here we rise to Fay every
day the people are surprised at tn.

We are glad of the completion of

whatever else you refuse US, grant
us perfect sewerage system.
We are guilty of trading in every
thing and the more people know i

IcEBERGs NEAR CAPE CHARLES
A dispatch from Cape Charles, Va,
says: The recent thaw has caused a
complete break up of the ice and now
large fields of it are floating about the
bay, some of which contain large mass
es of snow and ice. Sunday night and
Yesterday morning the bay was COM
pletely enveloped in a dense fog, and as
the warmth of the sun caused the fog to
lift it revealed one ofthe most beautiful
sights ever beheld by the citizens of the
city. Huge icebergs, ranging from %
to so feet in heighth, were seen floating
about 5 miles out in the bay, going as
they were toward the open sea.
Crowds were on the banks early yes
terday morning admiring the beautiful
spectacle. On one Of these mountains
of ice and snow there seemed to he
something that attracted large num-
Der of sea gulls, but it could not be as
certained what it was.
The Old Plantation lighthouse, which
was disabled few days ago by the ice
and was deserted by its keeper, seems
to battle the efforts of the ice to carry it
away, and lift escapes until to-day it
will have passed the crisis, and the gov
eminent people are expected very soon
to repair damages, also to replace the
buovs in that section, most of which
have been dragged from their moorings
by the ice.

est of its kind in America, it is said,

Nearly seven hundred men are at

1t is estimated that the deep water
canal, proposed to run from Lake Su-
perior TO the Erie, will cost at least
$500, 100000. The canal would be three
hundred and forty-fve miles in length,
have thirty locks and a large number
of costly aqueducts. The canal would
have to be thirty feet deep and three
hundred feet wide.

SOME OF the annexationists say IL
this country shall not annex the sand
witch Islands, Great Britain will take
possession Of them. Well, suppose 1t
Shall. What will that have TO do with
the case? Great Britain has possession
of territory much nearer the United
States. and much larger, and that it has,
is benefit, rather than an injury TO the
people of this country. Let other ma
tons do what they choose, so that they
do not infringe upon the rights Of the
United States. This country cannot
afford to 90 to war with nation with
a powerful navy in order TO crafty the
rapacious desires of few disnaturai-
lied Americans in the Sandwich Islands,
and assume control over territory,
while that which it already has is more
than it can we'll govern. And to at
tempt to apply the Monroe doctrine to
territory two thousand five hundred
miles off, and nearer to Asia than TO
Europe. would be absurd.
