boast OF their acquaintance in pubnc
life half so much as the new corners do.
The women who make it their con-
slant business to go calling upon the
wives OF senator's, representatives, cab
met ministers, and other public men,
are social nuisances of the deepest dye.
You may think it strange, but as a
matter of fact there are thousands OF
such women who. go from house 70
house in carriage loads, who have just
time enough to walk into q room and
then walk out again, who must get
through with certain number of visits
In a certain time. There seems 20 be
no doubt but that there is more calling
done among the people 81 Washing
ton than is done among the people of
any other city In the world. A custom
that is almost exclusively feminine in
other places, and has its limitation
among women here, is followed to a
large extent by men. These masculine
professionals go the rounds systemat-
icaliy. They eat and drink if it is
given TO them. They make themselves
thoroughly at home. There is no harm
In genuine social Calls. But that isn't
the style of calling that is done here,
What should be a recreation and q
pleasure is made business Of, and !
most irksehss business 1t becomes. n
is wonder that some of these saui
sances do not die of hypocrisy. The
same sSdirk, the same bow, tie same
sterectyped remarks SO desperately DO
lite, are bestowed upon people who are
comparative strangers. OF all socia
nuisancfs, the calling nuisance is tn,
worst. SMITH d. Fry.

FIGHT THE DEVIL.

says:
Judge Simonton's decision il
the cigarette case was necessarily
so technical that its details wert
not of absorbing interest to the
lay mind, however valuable the
result reached may be to this and
other communities; but when he
said that cigarettes are not an
article Of prime necessity" we feel
pretty sure we caught his mean
ing and he will be glad to know,
too, that we think he is right.
He might, indeed, in the opinion
of some people, have gone farther
and applied this comment to in
dividuals owned by the cigarette,
as well as to the thing itself.
Not only in the opinion of
"some people" but of about every
honest, sensible man or woman
you meet, is the deadly cigar
cite and its unhappy vsctim a
thing to be avoided, loathed and
detested.
The RECORDER can imag-
inc nothing more disgusting than
what it witnesses every day-a
sallow, sickly, pimply faced boy,
with one of the little youth killers
stuck in his mouth and traces of
the subtle poison already visible
in the pale cheek and lusterless
eye. This same sallow, pimply
faced boy is not wanted by any
who can find one to fill
his place who is not addicted to
the fatal and growing habit. If
he is fortunate enough to find a
situation where they will put up
with him, it will be only because
the party employing him can do
no better. He may make up his
mind that he will lose his job as
soon as another, who is free from
the vice, happens to come along.
The best physicians in Ameri-
"a and the leading scientists of
The world have declared the Gig
arctic to be pernicious in its effects
upon the moral and poisonous in
its action upon the physical sys-
tenn. Public sentiment has at
last been awakened to the enor-
nifty Of this, as we believe-one of
The monumental crimes of the
nineteenth century-and public
sentiment everywhere in decent
christian communities, except in
towns where they manufactured
and where cigarette money pays
The minister and oils the political

Is saying that the cigarette must
