TOBACCO HAD A DEFENDER
How Prof. Huxley Got in Plea for
the Much Maligned Weed

At a debate on smoking among the
members of a certain British association
many speakers denounced and Others
advocated the practice. Professor Hux-
ley said For forty years of my life to-
bacco has been a deadly poison to me.

ists.) In my youth, as a medical stu
dent 1 tried to smoke. In vain! At
every fresh attempt my insidious foe
stretched me PROSTATE on the floor.
Repeated cheers) 1 entered the navy.
Again 1 tried to smoke, and again met
with defeat. 1 hated tobacco. 1 could
almost have lent my support to any in
stitution that had for its object the
putting of tobacco smokers to death.
(Vociferous applause.) A few years ago
l was in Brittany with some friends.
We went to an inn. They began to
smoke. They looked very happy, and
outside it was wet and dismal. thought
1 would try cigar. (Murmurs.) I did
so. (Great expectations.) I smoked
that cigar 1t was delicious. (Groans.)
From that moment was a changed man
and now I feel that smoking in modera-
ton is a comfortable and laudable prac-
tice, and is productive of good Dismay
and confusion of the anti-tobacconists.

There is no more harm in a pipe than
there is in a cup of tea. You may poison
yourself by drinking too much green tea
and. kill yourself by eating too many

that tobacco, in moderation, is sweet
ener and equalizer of the temper" (To-
tai rout of the anti-tobacconists ana

Held by Republicans OF
Kentucky
ALL THEIR WOES FORGOTTEN
ALL THEIR PARTY BREACHES
HEALED
Deboe Nominated for United States
Senator and His Election Con-
fdently Promised Today
Associated Press Special wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
FRANKFORT, KY, April 23@the
breach in the Republican ranks was
healed tonight when the Republican
senatorial caucus. after long and
stormy session, nominated Dr. w. J..
Deboe as the Republican choice for SEN
ator. There is every reason tonight
to believe that he will be elected by
the state legislature tomorrow
The nomination Of Deboe was brought
about by Gov. Bradley and the five Re-
publicans who bolted after DR.. Hunter
had been declared the Republican cau-
Gus nominee. The Bradley faction
played waiting game. When the Hun
ter contingent had 6na'ly been brought
together in the support of Deboe, the
bolters swung into line, casting their
solid vote for him, carrying the NOM
ination, and moment later Deboe was
unanimously declared the nominee of
the caucus.
Amid the wild midnight scene that
followed the nominee was brought be-
fore the caucus and made a strong
speech of thanks. Holt, who. after the
withdrawal of Hunter, became Deboe's
leading opponent, also made felicitous
speech.
w. ]. Deboe, the nominee, is about so
years old, native of Crittenden coun-
ty, where he was a practicing county
physician for a number of years. His
4. al hi al
tion to the state senate four years ago.
He is still member of the state SEN
ate.
All interest during the day had GEN.
tered in tonights caucus. The balloting
in today's joint session was purely for
mal owing to the lack of a quorum.
On the first ballot tonight Deboe had 81
votes and Holt 16, Evans 8, Lewis 6,
Bennett 4, and scattering; necessary
to choice, 80.
Those who had expected the five for
mer boilers to accept the chance to die
tate a nomination were disappointed
as when Deboe got 81 votes they did not
come to him and name him. On the
next ballot Baird voted for Deboe and
gave him 80 votes. The next ballot was
the same. The balloting then proceeded
without any material change until the
twenty-fifth ballot, when it was agreed
that the hindmost man on each succeed
ing ballot should be dropped. This ac-
ton, which was taken on the motion OF
the bolters, soon brought matters to
an issue, and on the twenty-eighth bal
lot the boilers swung into line for De-
Doe and effected his nomination.
Baird. the Gold Democrat, partici-
pated in the action, and will undoubted-
ly vote for the nominee tomorrow.

LORD sALIsBURY,s ROUTINE
In Spite of His Arduous Work he
Keeps in Good Health

It is O. marvel that one who does so
much mental work and takes so little
exercise as Lord Salisbury, should be so
seldom Ill.
II never meet a well-known blue
brougham," remarked the Earl of Gran
willie some ten years ago. "but say. See
he has not time to walk even from Ari-
ington street to Downing street."
The blue brougham was Lord Sails
bury's. 1t has been steadily in use this
year. Lord Salisbury enjoys saunter
in st. James park or along the En-
bankment, but for pleasure of this sort
he has not had much time during the
Cretan crisis. Nor at any time does he
care for sport or sports. To these he is
as Indifferent as Mr.. Chamberlain. He
has played a few strokes at golf to hu-
NOR Mr.. Balfour, but If he entered the
parliamentary tournament he would re-
quire a specially high handicap. 1t is
only in his chemical laboratory that he
finds any congenial recreation. During
his visit to the south Of France, the
prime minister will fortunately escape
the domestic worries of Downing street,
but the burden of foreign affairs will
always be with him at such critical
time as the present.-Sketch.

UNEMPLOYED AT LODI
CAPTURE AND HOLD A TRAIN
OF CARS
Now Sheriff Cunningham Of Stockton
Has an Awful Elephant on
His Helpless Hands

LODI, CAL, April 23.-The army of un-
ing and captured a freight train for
SACRAMENTO. The trainrren held the
train on a sidIeitrack and refused to
start. The followers of Leffingweli have
BEEN sitting on the cars since noon with
nothing to eat. They say they will stay
till the train hauls them to Sacramento
or they are arrested; they don't care
which. Business men are now (6:30
p. m.) taking up a subscription and do
ratirg food for the hungry company.
They are quiet and orderly and officers
anticipate no trouble.
The citizens fed the unwelcome visitors
at o'clock with bread, eggs, crackers
and corned meat. The men then prepar-
ed to sleep en- top of the cars tin the tram
moved and had sentinels posted. The
train men, however, pulled the train
back to Stockton j,s>t after o'clock with
all on board. This ends the excitement
here. The. town was excited on account
of fear of an outbreak while the men
were here. Leffingwell the commander
of the company said that the men did
not care what became of them, and that
they would stay until the train moved or
their arrest took place.
CALLED BACK
Shortly after o'clock the report reach
ed town that the railroad company
had changed front, and was bringing
the train back to Stockton at a rapid
rate There were but few beside the
officers there when it reached the yards,
cIn hafnra
men were on the train, and show
leader, Leffingwell,, was en- a front
car, and passed the word along for all
the men to stay on the cars. The crowd
was quite jovial. and said that they
would keep the car tops warm till they
were carried to Sacramento or arrested
At late hour they were sleeping in
their blankets on the car tops and along
the sides of the track, and attempted no
trouble. 1t is expected that Sheriff
Cunningham will take some decisive ac-
tion at daylight, and whether the move
ment is accomplished quietly or not de-
pends on the way the men obey orders.
COILS WAS CUNNING
SACRAMENTO, April 23.-Today the
Southern Pacific company telegraphed
to Sheriff Cunningham of San Joaquin
county for protection for its trains
against the Leffingwell army, who had
captured and held one of its trains at
Lodi Cunningham replied that he was
not aware of the men having violated
any law. Thereupon the company order
ed the train back from Lodi to Stock
ton, and now Cunningham has the whole
gang to look after again.

THE OLD MINERS ROMANCE

Here Is the story as heard 1t from the
| lips of old Jim Ward. He was down on
the banks of White Path creek. in Gill
mer county. Ca with his pan and shovel.
washing the tiny particles of gold from
the sand scooped from the bed of the
stream. Bent with age, his head crowned
with a mat of kinky white hair, his old
face withered and wan, he looked like a
picture of poverty that had stepped
forth from its tarnished gilt frame and
had been endowed with a sort of semi
activity.
"How much can you make in day, old
MANI" asked
"Oh, sometimes get a couple of dol
lars worth of dust, but often 1 don't
get over so cents out of hard days
work." he replied in tone that indicated
a settled despair, the result of life of
disappointment. But what struck me
most forcibly was the scholarly manner
in which he spoke, altogether different
from what I might have expected from
one in his condition. There was none of
the cracker patoie nor the negro dialect
in his intonation. He was evidently a
man of education, who had associated
with the better class of people during
his more prosperous life.
You do not talk like q man who had
always handled a pan and shovel" I
remarked. as he leaned against bowld-
er and brushed the PRECIPITATION from his
wrinkled brow. "Are you a native of
this section?'
Yes. was born in the valley just over
the mountain, and my father was one of
the wealthiest men in all this region. l
am an old man now, and many hardships
have broken my health and undermined
my constitution, but have seen the day
when could hold my own against any
! OF the young men OF my age. euppose
that you are surprised to hear me speak
dramatically, but was educated for
a gentleman.
my mother was a slave and my
father came here shortly after the de-
parture of the Cherokee Indians in 1888,
and brought his slaves with him to this
unsettled region. My mother had borne
him several children, and as he had never
married he desired to raise them up like
white children, and not as slaves, so he
left the more populous section of the
state and laid out farm in this remote
region, where he hoped to escape the
prejudices that had been shown toward
him in his former home because of his
alliance with my mother It seems
strange to think of 1t now. and man can
hardly realize that the law was so fixed
that man could not set his own chill
dren free If their mother happened to be
slave.
! In the great land robbery lottery by
which the lands purchased from the
Cherokees were divided among the peo-
pie Of Georgia my father drew the land
on which we are standing. and by pur-
chase he procured as much Of the land

was new and yielded bountiful har-
| vests, and he prospered In his new home.

arrived.

HIS LIFE FOR A PENNY
A Newsboy's Fate on One of New
York's b oadwaJ able Cur yes

1t was not a good day for selling the
papers, but the Wessas were so very
poor, ard every penny counted.
Out into the storm and wet went Cos
ONO. He was IA years old, but he did
not look more than II, thanks to small
rations. He got his armful of evening
papers from a passing wagon and start
ed up to see what gleanings of small
coins he could get out of Broadway
The street cars were barred to him and
the sidewalks were so empty. 1t was
dreadfully discouraging, but little Cos
ONO Wessa did not stop to worry. He
had no time for that.
An hour afterward a policeman went
around from the Mulberry street sta
tion house and knocked at the door of q
sorry looking third back tenement.
"Entrate," called out Mother Wessa
cordially. But when the door opened
and a policeman's form appeared, she
started up in alright, and little Gug-
lietta began to cry.
'Cosomo?" cried the woman, her moth
er's instinct bringing the name uncon.
sciously to her lips.
Eyes, that's the name" said the police
man, glancing at slip he held in his
fingers. "Cosomo Wessa is the name hf
gave. He's dy-he's hurted, badly hurt
ed, up at the New York hospital. You'd
better hurry UP II you want to see him
that's what the doctors say"
A little later father and mother were
kneeling at the bedside of their dying
boy, while the good priest who had ad-
ministered extreme JUNCTION, bowed his
head and went away.
1t was the old story. The little paper
merchant had reached Madison Square
where he found others whom he knew
engaged in like occupation. They hung
around the corner, where now and ther
they found a customer on board a halt
ed car. whom they could sell to without
boarding it.
A guest of the Hotel Bartholdi came
out on the doorstep and waved his hand
for newsboy. Instantly there was q

Toronto, Dec. 9-Lord Aberdeen,

Quilted last night at the National club
by repsentatfve company. The speech
Of the evening was delivered by Ed
ward Blake, member Of the British
house Of commons, who will sail for
England on the 18th inst. Blake replied
to the toast Of Canada and the EN-
pire." He spoke of the advantages of
cultivating imperial trade. Concerning
Canada's relations with the United
States he urged that the true interests
OF both countries would be best served
by largely extended trade relations.
I'VE must be either friends or foes"
he said. and it is in the highest inter-
ests of Canada and the empire that we
should be friends" On the question Of
defense. admitting the horrible suppo-
sition Of war between England and the
states, he pointed out that it would be
for England mainly naval war, while
Canada would have to stand the brunt
of the attack. and looking at the re-
sources of the United States he feared
Canadian valor would not prevent a
hostile military occupation.
