Smoking on the Cars.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Now that the City and Suburban Railway
Company has completed its system done
away with the old horse cars, and placed
in their stead nice new ones, the writer
hereof would respectfully call the atten-
ton of Mr.. Truesdell to the abominable
nuisance which prevails on all of these
cars of men smoking and blowing the
smoke all over the women who are COM
PEELED to patroniZe this line. 1t was only
last Monday that the writer of this article
sat in one of the combination cars on the
q street line and saw two men sitting on
the front seats smoking and blowing the
smoke all over every one in the car. On
the Metropolitan and Capital Traction rail-
ways smoking is prohibited on any part
of the car except the last two seats on the
rear car. Why cannot such orders be given
on the City and Suburban cars as well ?
This article is written at the request of
many of the women who daily ride on these
cars. OBSERVER

Never Had Any Intention of Going to
Carlsbad.


Admiral Dewey. in an interview at Trieste
yesterday, said that. although he had
received many invitations from Americans
sojourning at Carlsbad, he had never in
tended going there.
Look at me- said the admiral. DO I
look like a sick man? Do L look as IL l re-
quired Carlsbad treatment? 1 am quite
healthy, and, though l will be sixty-two
next December, 1 feel quite young in health
and spirits, and from my humor you will
notice that what l tell you is quite correct
1 came to Trieste solely to recruit the
heaith of my crew, they having passed
seventeen months in the tropics without a
break
MY reception by the Austrian officials
was most friendly, and according to the
usual etiquette. All reports of the en-
perors declining me a reception are I'M
founded.
Il expect to remain in Trieste about a
week longer, and shall then proceed prob
ably to Naples. Further details and plans
have not been decided upon. but the cruiser
will remain during the whole of August at
Mediterranean ports. The last port touched
IN Europe will be Gibraltar. where we will
only take on coal and stores. We are eX-
pected in New York by October l.
Il have accepted invitations to receptions
by the citizens Of New York and Washing
ton. and am already in possession Of a pho
tograph of the sword Of honor voted me by
the American Congress-"
Admiral Dewey absolutely refuses to talk
upon political subjects, and when asked
what he thought regarding England, re-
piled:
Il have not thought anything YETI
The admiral yesterday afternoon made
another carriage excursion to the Chateau
of Miramar.

DEVASTATED TEXAS.
Sad Condition of the People I'm the
Flooded Districts.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star
Having just returned from the flooded
districts of Texas ! have been requested to
tell of the desolation, want and deplorabe
condition of the farmers and settlers the
latter being mostly colOred people) who
live in that part of Texas. l do not think
that even half has been told.
About the middle of June | passed through
this same country and saw the finest crops
of corn and cotton the farmers had had
the prospect Of for many years, the COM
Portable homes occupied by the wives and
numerous little children. the cattle grazing
on the fertile grassy hillsides. Now, this
land that was so charming. that blossomed
and almost smiled with peace and PLENTY is
a deSolate barren waste, even offensive
with the oders from the carcasses of dead
animals, houses swept away or entirely
ruined and families scattered. What can
these people do from now until next spring?
What has happened to these Woodworking
Texans may at any time occur to any other
people in any part of our United States. Is
1t not then the duty of every one to give
what he can to the assistance of these ut
terly helpless farmers? Texas has noble
hearted, energetic, honest governor, and
every cent that is contributed to the flood
sufferers will be used to the best advantage
These Texans have not only lost this year
crops, which have been estimated to be
worth S10,O0,000, but the work and accu-
mutations of all their lives, and in many
cases the result of the work and savings of
generations, for 1t is a well-known fact
that southern farmers are not depositors in
banks or investors in any kind of property
other than that around their farms, so they
are utterly destitute and penniess. Many of
US hoped they could make some kind of
crop this year by promptly planting corn.
but those who know, say it is too late.
am proud to say, and it will be gratifying
to you to know that even those who have
lost everything not discouraged. They
have always worked. and they can work
again. They know the wonderful fertility
OF the soil and they most heartily appre-
ciate the kindness and charity being eX-
tended to them.
The question now is, How on earth these
people are going to live during the winter
and until they can make another crop?
God only knows what our people are to
do this fall and winter" is the only answer
| have received.

kins was taken into the pavilion, where
