for the better. Certainly, II all the dole
full stories we hear and read are true, IL
isn't. But the little paper wrapped roll
OF smoking tobacco seems to have come
to stay, and II American women ever
get TO be smokers they will begin on
cigarettes. Indeed some Of them have
already made a very fair beginning n
that direction, though none Of the fair
sex has yet been brave enough to smoke
IN the sight of strangers or on the streets.
It IS q common notion that one Of the
chief reasons why more women do not
smoke is because tobacco affects their
nervous system more directly than it
does mems, but many readers of rural
origin can remember the time when al
most every one Of the older women IN
''the neighborhood" used TO smoke, and
they usually smoked clay pipes at that,
sometimes blacker than oblivion and
stronger than Samson. Strangely enough,
according to the theories of those who
hold that the use Of tobacco has a tend
enCy TO shorten human life. these smok-
ing danes were generally much longer
lived than their sisters who did not in
dulge.
Snuff taking lasted longer with the
women than with the men, but few OF
the younger generation understand how
universal the habit used to be with all
classes and both sexes. In those good
old days the snuffbox was a personal
possession held IN high regard It was
made of wood, horn, ivory, silver or gold,
according to the financial ability Of the
owner. Often it was studded with jew
els; often it was adorned with exquisite
painting. The lover sometimes had his
sweetheartas miniature painted on the
cover of his bog.
Not mapy persons are aware probably
that among the perquisitea arrogated TO
themselves by the United States sena-
tors in the early daysof the republic was
snuff at the expense of the government.
The snuff is still furnished, but none
now partakes of it save Captain Bassett,
the ancient attendant upon the august
upper house.
Among the class known as the nobi1-
ity abroad the precious cigarette case
has taken the place of the Jeweled snuff
box. These gilded persons take more
kindly to cigarettes than do grown men
in America. In Europe the cigarette IS
not thought to be out of place between
the lips of lady, and most of the pres
ent expresses and queens and princesses
smoke them. The women who have
been prominent in diplomacy, including
Nine. de Novikof, Princess Metternich
and Nine Nubar Pasha, are devoted to
cigarettes. The Austrian empress smokes
big black cigars constantly.
Almost all the famous diplomats of
Europe prefer cigarette smoke to that Of
cigars, and Russian diplomats are said
to have the most exacting taste in this
direction. Russians generally are great

DEAR SIR:-In reply TO yours Of L
18th inst regarding the National Cane
shredder furnished by the Universal
Will Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
/ would beg to say, that IL has now been
in l.=ration day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more | see of
its capabilities, the better pleased L am
that [ put it in, as | am satisfied chat 1t
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrse-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 To- 40, G3ns of
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and il could shred a much larger
quantity If necessary. IL delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives it
without the intervention of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of
great deal OF strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing etc.
There is a saving of Jour a. men daily
on the mill, as only one man Is required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered

The only two experimental guns under
construction at the Washington navy yard
will soon be completed and be ready for
testing.
on Friday the nickel-steei gun was par
italy jacketed, but the Hurst gun has
passed that stage and little remains to be
done to get it ready for the proving
grounds. The Hurst gun Is peculiar type
being built by a special act of Congress as
an experiment. The gun Is really a gun
within a gun. The powder chamber is
formed of two tubes, one inside of the
other. and the projectiie, differing from all
Others has a tapering end which, when in
serted In the gun, fits in the smaller or in
ner tube, while the large end Of the pro-
jectile swells to such size that 1t covers
the space between the outer rim of the in
ner tube and the inner rim of the outer
tube. A primary charge in the inner tube
working on the theory OF the inventor, gives
the projectile a start, and greater charge
in the outer tube catches 1T as soon as the
tapering end has left its position and thus
gives it greater velocity, the advantage
claimed being that where there is but one
charge a great deal of its benefit is lost
in giving the load start. Master Mechanic
Robinson states that the gun will likely be
ready for trial about the 10th of September.

THRILLING DETECTIVE STORY.
Told in "a Public Document Placed ON
File.

Inc government publishes a great va
riety of matter In the course of a year. from
presidential messages to a history of dis
eases OF the CAD fy, and the variety of
ieaoing matter has been increased within
the past few days by the publication of a
real detective story, with diagrams, accord
ing to Gaboriau. This Is a history of the
sandoagging and robbery Of stamp clerk
IN the Chicago post office one dark night
last winter, when the wind was whlstIiBg
round the corner and the sleet dashing
against the windows. The story of the
crime and the vain search of two govern
ment sleuths for the criminal are given AT
great length and in the minutest detail.
All or this Is contained in a pamphlet of
eleven pages, accompanying a claim of the
late postmaster for the amount of the rob-
berry, which he was compelled to make
good Ihere are a number of diagrams to
illustrate the story. One of them shows
where the body of the clerk was found"
'the door where Miss Jones came ill.," the
window where the robber escaped" "the
door where the robber entered" and other
minute details. Another diagram shows the
postal clerk as he stood at mis- desk, bat
fails to represent the robber and the sand
bag, although everything else, even TO Miss
Jones' desk, is portrayed vvidly.
Many pages of closely printed type are
filled with the history of the efforts of the
government sleuthS.
There were two theories to work upon"
had robbed himself and inflicted upon HIM
self the injuries to cover up his crime or
that some one familiar with the Office and
with the habits of Mr.. Robinson had plan
ned and successfully put into execution the
robbery. / called to my assistance the SUI
perintendent of the Pinkerton agency OF
this city. who rendered me every assistance
in his power, without cost, to get some clue
to the perpetrators of this bold robbery.
We have worked upon every plausible the
DRY, but have failed to get any clue to lead
us on "A successful trail"
The outcome of the work these two
theories Is reported as follows:
1.-THE result of the Investigation In this
case has convinced me of. two things:
First, that 1t was a bona fide robbery; sec
ond, that 1T was conceived and planned if
not perpetrated. by some enc perfectly ia
miliar with the workings of that branch of
the postal department in this city; but the
plan was so well executed that up to the
present moment we have been unable to
get single clue that would fasten upon
the guilty party. -
So the robbery remains a mystery, and
the thrilling story of the two government
sieuths goes on file in the annals OF Con-

THE TELEPHONE NUISANCE.
How n Man Got Rid of NeighbOrs Wht
Used HIS phone.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
"A business friend of mine has finally sue
ceeded in Kidding himself of a great nuis-
ance," said Ernest +. Edwards Of Boston,
who was at the Southern last night. His
office happens to be on q floor in a building
where there are a large number of tenants,
but no other telephones besides his own.
The result Is, he has been for months bored
TO death by telephone dead-beats, many of
whom have used hisStelephone a great deal
more than he has. The nuisance got SO
bad at last that it was quite usual to have
two visitors waiting for, each other at the
phone. He tried varioug devices for long
time but finally took the company into his
confidence and got themoto give him a new
number, but not to change the plate on the
phone. He specially notified central on no
account to connect any one who called up
the old number The scheme worked like
charm. For day or two the nuisance
was increased by the opportunities OF pa
irons of his telephone and their indignant
protests when they failed to secure con-
nection. 1t did not take long, however, for
them to realize that the telephone was of
no further use to them, and the way my
friend echoed their protestations and lamen-
tations was most amusing. He has the
telephone all to himself now. and Is not
troubled in any way"

FOR CONGRESSMAN.
Tom Dawson of Rockville the Choice
OF Montgomery.


Correspondence Of The Evening Star
ROCKVILLE. Md. August g. 1894.
The contest for control Of the delegation
from this county to the coming republican
congressional convention at Frederick is
assuming definite shape. 1t is now regarded
as quite certain that an effort will be made
by MIR. George l.. Wellington Of Allegany
to secure the support Of this county, and 1t
has also developed that the sentiment Of
those who favor a Montgomery man has
centered upon Mr.. Tom Dawson Of Rock
five gentlemen who were regarded as as
pirants for the honor Of county indorse-
ment. Lately II has leaked out that at a
conference among the assembled friends
and supporters Of all who were willing TO
become the choice Of the county a unani-
Irous decision was reached in favor of
Dawson as the most available man to make
the race. This means that the fight has
narrowed down between Wellington and
Dawson, and that the latter has secured
such support throughout the. county as
renders 1t almost certain that the delega-
lion will be in his favor. Judge John T.
Vinson, who is persistently referred to by
Baltimore papers as a probable candidate
from Montgomery, Is known to have writ
ten a letter pledging hearty support to the
choice of the conference above referred to,
and all the other proposed candidates, either
personally or through their friends. have
given pledges of support to the candidacy
of MIR. Dawson.
