Warfare Against the Cigarette

The poor little cigarette is having
hard time of it. There seems to b.
a combined effort on foot to extermin
ate it. In Alabama a bill has just
become law making cigarette smok-
ing a misdemeanor. The Pennsyl-
vania assembly has passed a bill pro
hibiting the manufacture and sale OF
cigarettes in the state. and even here
in Nevada the cudgel has been taken
up and it is proposed to place the
license so high as to virtually prohibit
their sale Notwithstanding all this
we would be willing to bet that the
pesky little combination of paper and
poor tobacco will down its enemies
and come out on top in the long run.
Like the Peoples party, it has come
to stay

An Eastern paper gives an account
of how Senator John p. Jones WAS
mistaken as to his vis-a-vis in restau-
rant in Brussels. Our Senator had
the usual experience during his Euro
pean visit that men of recognized
wealth are accustomed to, viz Con
slant applications for peeuniary aid,
until he fancied that every stranger
that introduced his or herself needed
watching. At the time referred to Il
we'll dressed lady sat opposite him,
and after inquiring if he was the New
ada Senator. asked if he would do her
a great favor. j. p. was somewhat
nonplussed and for time could not
answer, but upon the request being
repeated said that he had aided so
many during his stay in Europe that
he must hear what was needed before
committing himself, when the lady
said: please pass the mustard; you
have monopolized it for a long time
and l need little for my meat. 1t
was IL hard one on the Senator, for
the reason that he is said to be per-
feet gormandizer of the article and
the very pink of politeness in ladies'
society

To discuss your clothes, your servants
or your domestic affairs is to stamp your
self ill-bred says the Philadelphia Times.
General conversation is the only sort
tolerated in the best circles. Do not talk
and laugh at the theatre or other place of
amusement, annoying those about you
who came to enjoy the performance and
not your conversation. Do not stare at
people and then discuss them so that
there is no possibility Of their installing
the topic of your conversation. In fact,
let consideration for others be your watch
word and refinement your code, and your
manners will improve steadily under such
personal discipline.

The Darrag Oh WIN.

A tclegrem received in this city last ev-
ening announced that the court in Gal
weston had sustained the will of the late
John L. Darragh ST., which was being
contested by his son. John L. Darragh
Jr., and other children of their fathers
first marriage.
The latter. who was very old widow
er, married very pretty young lady, to
whom Darragh Sr., left the bulk Of his
half a million dollar fortune, and his
children by his first marriage, although all
of them are wealthy, contested the testa-
ment, alleging that the pretty, young
wife had exercised undue influence over
the expiring and decaying old man.
The son, John L. Darragh, Jr., who re-
sides in this city in a magnificent villa,
on DignOwity hill, is the principal pro-
prietOr Of the Galveston whar! bonanza.

rants. Some of them are the lowest
of the low and spend their nights
in leaning out their windows and
guying and insulting paSSerS- by. trying to
entice them into their denS of iniQuity,
while others live in a more refined man
ner. So many insults are offered by these
women that numerous complaints were
made to the authorities, hence the ar
rests.
They were arranged before the recor

ed guilty to the charge and were fined s.
each: Ernava ReaveS, Hattie Black,

recorder this morning, the offenders being
John and George Randle, two young me-

of being diSorderly. They were each fined
s. for the offence. 1t seems from the evil

boy severe talk. Yesterday afternoon
John, with his brother George. started
