The Cigarette Habit in Women.

\ young girl who had been to woman's
luncheon at one of the very best houses in
New York told me. says writer in the New
York Press. the other day with some indigna-
tion that she was the only one present who
did not smoke Turkish cigarettes with the
coffee. She said with vlrtuous pride that
She never smoked cigarettes. and thought

some hoary-headed swain may agree with
her. but we have fallen on peculiar times.
and women claim they have a right to do
anything they choose. They have. of course,
nnd it is not surprising tha. they want to
combiCc the flavor Of Turkish tobacco with
mocha. The nayors melt and mingle consol-
ingly. and there's nothing intrinsicallv un-
pleasant at the spectacle Of rings of white
smoke curling out from between coral lips.

Now is the Awakening
of the Springtime

There is something delightful in the way In
which the green growing things that have
been asleep all winter know just when to wake
up and come forth in all their royal splendor
in our parks and reservations.
1t is royal procession! First, the crocuses
lift their heads of white, crimson, and gold
and greet us. 1t is doubtful If there is a finer
show anywhere than the flowers and shrubs
and Towering trees make here. The Capitol
building is fairly surrounded by a field of
beauty. There is succession of Towering
shrubs in those fine grounds on the hill which
keep up reign of bloom from February to
December. Over a month ago the low stor-
aged jessamine took advantage of the first
warmth to open their eyes and stare about,
even through the snow. Then in sheltered
places crocuses smiled before the grass was
fairly green, as it is now. and hyacinthS and
tulips came or are coming.
The splendid flame of the garden iaponicas
redden hundreds of bushes by the wayside, the
yellow mods and bobs its greeting from over
the way. The wax-plants are full of delicate,
fairy-like, pink-tipped white blossoms, that
glorify the bushes that wear them; and the
purple and white lilacs are swelling and will
be with us in another week. And the snow
balls and tauny-red barbary bush will come
soon AFTER with syringia and the red-bud
tree marching next in the procession. In
deed. it will seem to be race, as the days
grow warmer, between the flowers TO see who

upon each others heels
In the palm-house gardens southwest OF the
Capitol the small magnolias are already fill
ing the air with their rich perfume as the
creamy or purple buds open, and the double
towering fuchias are blushing like n maiden
over her first kiss. Down by the Smithsonian
Institution are two of the stateiiest and most
beautiful double-flowered apple trees, and
the gorgeous purple-blossomed preen trees
are not far away. In Jackson Park the large
magnolia is getting ready to expand her
wings of beauty, and beds OF blooming flow-
ers delight the eye. In Franklin Park the
flowers surround the fountain in the center.
a pink, white, and golden rim. while the
maple trees-some of the finest specimens
put forth their green wing-like blossoms.
For loveliness no city can come up any
where near Washington, with its ample Carl

public squares, each of which is decorated
or soon will be-with the choicest blossoms of
many lands. The well-kept grass of the
Capitol grounds, the coping wall, with

HANGING IN THE BALANCE.
The President Has Not Yet Decided the
Fate of BANDS Bill.

The President Has Not Yet Decided the
Fate of BANDS Bill.
The President is carefully listening to the
arguments, political and otherwise, addressed
to him respecting the seigniorage bill. The
best information obtainable is that he has not
yet made up his mind what action to take, so
that no one can state what he will or will not
do. Messrs. Tracey, Dunphy, and other anti
silver Congressman say they believe the bill
will be vetoed.
On the other hand, the Democratic Senators
who voted for the bill are generally hopeful
that the President will sign it. The message
which the President sent to the New York del
egation Of the Chamber Of Commerce, advising
them not to come to Washington, they think
indicates that he has decided to approve the
bill, and does not consider it necessary to
consume time in arguing the point, view
quite different from that OF the New Workers
themselves. The President has until the 30th
instant to decide what he shah do with the
bill.
A Senator who stands very close to the ad
ministration told The TINES that he had just
had n conversation with a Cabinet officer on
the fate Of the seigniorage bill, and that he
was quite sure that the President had not yet
mLde up his mind whether or not to approve
the bill.

As to Iacing Corsets.

If a corset is laced every time it is put on it
will give the best satisfaction. The corset
must adapt itself to the waist for fit and form.
The house dresses are always looser than any
other, and corresponding ease in the corset is
conducive to comfort and appearance. When
the trim street suit or the smart evening dress
is put on il is tine work of a moment TO draw
the laces tight at the belt and loose top and
bottom for a small waist, full hips and fuller
bust and tie them in front, with the knot
under the skirt hook. This is the way the
French demoiselles get their exquisite figures.

HUGH ANNANDALE'S CASE.
Treasury Officials Believe that lie Is
Either Fraud or Crazy.


The Secretary OF the Treasury has received
from Secretary Gresham communication
from Consul Neal at Liverpool, England,
giving the story of the deportation of Hugh
Annandale as told by himself. Annandale
states that he was born in Canada, is citi-
zen OF the United States. and that he was de-
ported against his will. Superintendent
Stump states in his reply that Annandale's
story was wholly inconsistent with his state
ment made TO the authorities at Baltimore. by
means of which he procured transportation
to England.
The bureau has on file two or more auto
graph notes and letters from Annandale. in
one of which he asks for assistance to return
to England" The records OF the Philadel-
phia almshouse hospital show that during
the latter part Of 1898 both Annandale and
Arnett were there for treatment. the former
for alcoholism, delusional insanity. and
mania, and the latter for "stupor occasioned
by rum" II is the opinion Of the immigra-
tion officials that Annandale is either a fraud
or insane. or both

an immense deer the largest ever seen in

joined the drove. Partly because of the diff
Guilty of cutting out the animal from the mid

way, and partly through curiosity as TO what
it would do. the cowboys did not mo!est it.
The deer remained quietly walking with the
herd for eight hours, and finally entered into
a corral with the cattle at Snohomish, where
it was captured.

For the cnrrent fiscal year the Secretary Of
the Treasury has estimated the interest on
the national debt at S26 800, 900, which would
be only forty cents per capita OF the popula-
ton. For the year ended June 80, 1892, the
per capita Of interest was only thirty-four
cents, so that it appears that the sugar trust
makes more profit per capita out of the
American people than they are called upon to
contribute to pay interest on the national
debt

Crop Conditions.

Director Bronson gives the following
summary of crop conditions throughout
the state for the week ending Monday
the 10Th. He says:
The conditions during tie past week
have been unfavorable for farm work. A
rain and snow storm followed by cold
freezing weather, combined with gen
eral cloudy condition OF the sky has pre-
vented much WORK being done, except in
especially high places and in some scat
tered localities which have been exempt
from the general conditions.
Some seeding has been done, but with
continuance of the weather for last
week. which at this writing seems prob
able, it is likely that it will have to be
done over again. Reports from sections
where seeding was done in March indi-
cate that it will have to be reseeded.
All reports indicate that the ground is
in better condition as regards moisture,
than it has been for years, and the gen
eral outlook for the future is very prom
lsing.
The report from Barnes county is, very
little seeding done yet, though it will be
general next week If the weather holds
good. At Darlington the farmers have
done some narrowing, but very little

very little sunshine. At Cooperstown
the ground is slowly drying out. No
seeding had been done yet, but will prob
ably be general this week.

rain at present, seeding will be general
by the 18th. Prospects excellent.

work.
Medina-No seeding yet; snow, rain
and cold the past week. Indications are
for late seeding.
Montpelier-The past week has been
all that could be desired to fix the
ground for the coming crops. Seeding
is being commenced by some and will be

AN IMPROVED OUTLOOK.
Immigration Coming to North
Dakota--Real Estate BuSi-
ness Improving.
Successful Opening Of Capital
Hotel.--Affair Largely
Attended.

There seems to be gradual and gen.
eral, though to many 1t may now appear
hut faint, awakening IN real estate
values throughout this state as evinced
or the part of many to increase their
holdings. Taxes, which in many cases have
become delinquent and the property sold
therefor, are being paid before the time
limit has expired. County Treasurer
Roper states that Monday, sample of
other days, he took IN $500 in that man
ner alone. There seems to be gradual
awakening to the fact that North Dakota
real estate in the near future is going to
be- of more value than ever that
there is going to be BOOM but
period Of steady, healthy growth, carry
ing with it corresponding increase in
land values. Those who have held on to
their holdings through the past depres
sion will be those who will derive the
benefit. Hardly an exchange IS received
but notes the construction of buildings
and other improvements, all pointing to-
wards general revival.
Immigration is again setting in to-
wards the northwest. The Great North
ern railway people state that more dele
cations Of settlers for the Turtle Noun
tains and other western points along
their lines are daily starting out. "Thers
has not been," they say, $50 lively a
movement in this direction for years."
Ithas been demonstrated several hundred
times, that poor meu can do better in
North Dakota than in any other state.
This state still has more good land sub
ject to homestead entry, and it is easier
here than anywhere else for an honest,
Industrious man to buy an improved
farm on the crop payment plan, or on
time for cash.
