The Uusp,rins Hand 81 p,ath.

The news yesterday from Denver,
Colorado, Of the death OF John w.
Crooksnof Martins Ferry. who. for a
number OF years past, has been the In
telligencer's staff reporter In our sister
city across the river, will be received by
a host OF warm friends in this commune
ty. as well as at his home, with express.
Ions OF genuine sorrow. The long con.
nectionSef Mr.. Crooks with the 1ntclli.
gencer was 81 the most pleasant char
acter, and his efficiency was such, that
when he was overtakeH with the maiady
which caused his death, and was obliged
10 seek a more favorable climate, It vas
with the deepest regret that his depart
ure was witnessed: He left but a few
days since, hoping that he would receive
benefit enough to at least prolong his
life; but that was not to be.
Mr.. Crooks was respected by
all citizens for his splendid personal
character and the exemplary life he led.
HIS death is peculiarly sad, for he was a
young man living a life which had al
ready won him an honorable place in
the estimation OF those who knew him.
and the In~telllgencer Joins with them in
extending to his family the deepest
sympathy In their bereavement.

THE orGAHErTE HABIT
The Cause ofsths Majority OF REJECTION,
orEyoiuutstrs.

Tbs Cause of,ths Majority or Reflections
OF Volunteers.
WASHINGTON. May liza large
number of reflections OF volunteers has
caused much comment in the army
medical corps. However, the physi.
clans who have conducted;the examina-
lions say that outside oeS,he ranks OF
cigarette smokers there are even fewer
reflections than there were in the days
OF the civil war. Among habitual users
OF the cigarettes, the reflections are
about ninety per, cent.
Dr.. Benz. hlng, Of Philadelphia, who
acted as an examining surgeon during
ls6l-63 In. New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana, says that the average
reflections during those years did not
exceed thirteen per cent. He attributes
the large increase almost entirely to the
cigarette habit. II have; been inspect
ling the papers in a number OF cases
uncsr the present recruiting act" said
DR.. King, and l observe that most OF
the men who failed to pass the medical
examination have weak hearts or lack
The vitality necessary to make a good
soldier.
II had expected that the.percentage OF
reflections would be greater now than
in 1851. but ibid not dream that It
would be almost three times as great.
The examining physicians with whom
have talked have generally told me
that the excess Of reflections is due 10
the large number Of young men apply
ing for enlistment who have become
victims OF the cigarette habit"

NEW YORK, May ia dispatch to
the Times from Washington says: Ad-
moral Dewey and his men will need
advocates one.of these days to secure
for them the bounty they have earned
by the destruction Of the Spanish fleet
at Manila. The law Of 1854, under
which they have acquired title to boun-.
;ty. has been so long in disuse in the
navy department that none. Of the law
officers remembered 1t until their at
tention was directed to Il. It was pass
ed in order to stimulate the destruction
Of rebel property during the war Of the
rebellion, but thet law department Of
the navy has not come across any in
stances OF its application. Just how It
is to be enforced does not:occur to the
department, but it IS probable that
when the matter is taken up the Sec
rotary Of the navy will put the eacts
before congress, and that an appropri-
alton will be made to meet the expendi-
ture on account OF the bounty fund.
