her the Lady Bountiful" of the nine
teenth century.
Maria Christina, the much-troubled
! queen regent of Spain, smokes almost
as much as the empress of Austria. Like
the others, cigarettes are her favorites,
although it is whispered that some of
the court ladies attached to her smoke
small cigars. AS in Portugal, smoking
among Spanish women is a custom,
sanctioned by centuries, and if the
! queen of Spain did not smoke it would
perhaps create wonder among her sub
! jects.
The dowager empress of Russia seeks
solace for her troubles in tobacco, but
the young czarina frowns openly upon
the habit. When she was the first lady
| in the great empire the dowager en-
press encouraged smoking among the
court ladies', by her own indulgence in
the habit, but when the young czarina
assumed the leadership she issued an
edict prohibiting smoking by the ladies
attached to the household.
This created tremendous Juror, not
only in court, but in external society,
which is governed in all things by the
doings of the royal circle. Many Rus
sian women of the nobility had con-
tracted the smoking habit during the
regime Of the dowagerempress, andpro-
claimed loudly against the edict which
made a continuance of the custom an Of
Tense.
While the dowager empress and the
immediate ladies of her circle still
smoke they are careful never to indulge
in the habit in the presence of the
czarina, as q matter of courtesy to the
wife of the emperor. They confine their
smoking to their private apartments, as
do all OF the st. Petersburg society
women, among whom the use of the
cigarette is generally prevalent.
The queen of Roumania and Queen
Margherita of Italy both smoke, as does
also the handsome wife of the young
prince of Naples, who is destined to oc-
cupy the Italian throne. The young
princess, when she was Helen of Mon
tenegro, was raised and educated under
the personal care of the Jowager en-
press of Russia, and the girl naturally
contracted all the customs Of her royal
guardian.
The women of the house of Bourbon
might be called hereditary smokers, Is
it is matter of history that the
duchess of Bourbon and the duchess of
Charities, in the time of Louis XIV,
smoked the strongest of tobacco in big
meerschaum pipes.
None of the queenly: smokers of the
present day admires tobacco 10 the ex-
tentthat Queen Ranavalora IF Madagas-
car does. This unique lady smokes
cigars which cost the equivalent OF s1.5o
each, and when she isn't smoking she
chews, tobacco in plugs being her fa-
vorite for this diversion. When holding
court she either smokes or chews, and it
is the sole duty of one of her attendants
to follow her about wherever she goes
with a cuspidor of gold.

Gospel TRUTH" said Pierce. "Close
is the most absolutely fearless man
ever met. Nothing even Waring could
ever do or say would rufile him." And
then, though Mrs. Cram declared 1t a
shame, she, too, joined in the general
laughter. Close was evidently celeb
rity.
And now, as Lambert found himself
within few miles-though it might be
several hours-of his destination, he
was thinking not little of the officer
to whose presence he was so soon to re-
port his own, and whose companionship
and influence, for good or for i'll, he was
bound to accept for the simple reason
that, so far as he could learn, there was
absolutely no one else with whom he
could associate-except, possibly, the
contract doctor"

and is now In his fiftieth year. He was
appointed in 1892 judge of the United
States circuit court of West Virginia,
a post he still holds. His political ca
reer has been varied and exciting. A re-
publican in West Virginia, he has sue
ceeded in being elected 10 high Offices
many times. a fact which speaks vol
umes for his personal worth and capa-
city. Defeated in 1870 and 1872 in his
race for congress, he was nominated
for governor in 1876, and was defeated
after remarkable campaign. In 1882
he ran on the republican ticket for gov
ernor, and was given by the returns a
majority Of 10 over A. b. Fleming. He
took the oath of Office, but was not rec
ognized by Gov. Wilson. After long
contest the election was given TO Gov.
Fleming. In 1892 he declined renomi-
nation for governor and was then ap-
pointed judge.

'Ihere Shall BE No More Murder
Among NNtiOns."

Washington, Jan. 17.-Dr. T. Dewitt Tai
mage, in his sermon this morning, re-
ferred to The arbitration treaty in the fol-
lowing language:
1.-The mightiest, grandest movement for
driving brutal war out of the earth dates
from January II, 1897. The men who, on
each side of the sea, decided to effect that
plan of arbitration made themselves i'm
mortal. The evening of the present adj
nainistration of the United States has been
honored with the gladdest event of Is CEN
turtles. All civilized nations will copy the
sublime example.
Il implore the illustrious senate of the
United States to allow nothing to interfere
with a vote of ratification; that the bells
of all Christendom MAJ ring out Peace on
earth, goodwill to men. Senators-many
of you my personal friends-let me say
that this is the opportunity of you lives.
BY an emphatic and enthusiastic vote,
rise to the splendor of the occasion and
win the favor of all the good of earth and
all the mighty Of heaven. Let the Aye,
aye of our American senat resound
through all the capitals of Europe and
make all the arsenals and armories of the
world hear that there shall be no more
murder among nations.
1.-THE worst thing you can do for a man
is to kill him. The best thing you can do
for him Is to save him."

Legislators Refuse to FOregO One of
Their Fat Peruuisites.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 1.-THE house of
representatives today killed the Carol!
anti-railroad pass bill without the formal
ity of a vote. The bill was intended to
make it a misdemeanor for any public
official to accept a pass on a railroad, and
a felony for a railroad to end one to an
official. The judiciary committee recon-
mended that it be postponed indefinitely,
and that was done, although the author of
the bill asked that it be printed for infor-
nation. According to the rules, only one
third of the members may ask for the
printing of a bill, but there were not sven
that many, and the anti-pass bill died.
Something of a sensation was caused
by the Introduction by Mr.. Kennedy of
Ravalli of a bill to pay per diem for the
entire session to the men who We're re-
Gently elected to the senat but yere
thrown out on contests. The bill provided
that they be paid las prima facie members
of the senate" 1t was believed to be a
trick of The republicans to establish the
rights of the rejected members in the SEES
sion two years hence. The measure was
killed on the spot after an acrimonious
debate.
The initiative and referendum bill WAS
reported favorably with an amendment
reducing the number of signers neces-
sary to a petition for the submission of a
proposed law from 10 to 10 per cent.
Several more bills We're killed, which is
a promising beginning for this session.

Phillips today presided at a large meeting at
the Mansion house, called to promote the work
of aiding the famine sufferers of India. The
secretary of state for India, George Hamilton
the duke of Connaught, and duke Of Cambridge
were present. The duke of Connaught moved
a resolution that 1t be a public duty to assist
In extending relief measures. Lord George
Hamilton seconded the motion. An exciting
scene followed. Hyndman, socialist leader,
tried to move an amendment that in view
of the distress at home,' but Lord Mayor Phil
lips interrupted him, saying 1t was neither the
time nor place to move an amendment. Hynd-
man, however, persisted in attempting to move
the amendment and was finally elected from
the hall among cheers and few Kisses. The
duke of Connaught's resolution was then
adopted. Henry Hobhouse, member of parlla-
ment for East Somerset, liberal unionlst,
moved and George N. Curzon, parliamentary
secretary of foreign affairs, seconded the mo-
ton inviting the officials and clergy to CO.
operate in the relief work. Another attempt
to move an amendment similar to Hyndman's
followed, but 1t was ruled out of order. The
motion Of Hobhouse was adopted and the meet

sam PnIatlxa. IL Hungarian Tramp.
Arrested on Suspicion.

st. Louis, Jan. ia special to the
Republic from Birmingham, Ala, says:
The statement was given out by the
sheriff late tonight that a Hungarian
tramp named Sam Palatka had been ar
rested at Eastman, Ga, on the charge OF
being one of the men who wrecked a Bir.
mingham mineral train at Catawba
bridge December q, whereby rs lives were
lost. Deputy Sheriff James Ball has gone
for the prisoner.
The principal evidence against Palatka
is the alleged fact that he told persons at
Eastman of the wreck and described it
very wildly. This directed suspicion to
him by Eastman authorities, and when
Information was wired here his arrest
was ordered. 1t is rumored that a con
fession has been made but this lacks con,
firmation.

Leadville, Jan. Ex-Governor Adams Is
still here and working to effect a settle.
mlcnt of the troubles growing out of the
strike. He Is hopeful of success, but thus
far does not give out details regarding
his progress. He has gone SO far as to
offer to contribute toward a fund for
the support of unemployed miners, should
the strike be declared off, until they can
secure work mere or elsewhere. He has
been firm thus far, stating that any prop
osition which embraced the removal of
imported miners could not be considered.
Mr.. Debs is still at work and his plans
contemplate provisions by the Western
Federation of Miners for funds for the
support of idle miners after the strike is
declared OF. If that is decided upon.
Governor Adams will remain here, he
says, until a settlement is effected or I'M
til he is that there is no hope
for a settlement. A definite proposition to
him from the miners union is expected
tomorrow as the result of a meeting of
that organization today.
