Club Notes.

Club Notes.
In the responsive quotations given
Wednesday afternoon one member
gave the following:
"Lines to Womans Club;
A place where kindly, cheerful words
are said,
And kindly deeds are done; where
hearts are fed;
Where wealth of brain for poverty
attones:
And hand grasps hand, and soul
finds touce with soul.
Where victors in the race for fame
Look backward even in their tri-
umph
To heckon others to the shining goal.
This is Our Clue. haven fair,
Where toilers drop an hour their
load of care.''
The consideration of business and
the election of officers for the ensuing
year occupied the entire session of the
club, and resulted as follows:
President, reelected last years in
cumbent. Vice Pres, Mrs. Higgins.
Sec. and Treas, Miss Aidwell.
Next week plan of work for the
coming year will be arranged by the
entire Club, and suggestions from
friends of the work even though they
are not members will be gladly reed.
Club women are requested to devote
as much time and thought as possible
the coming week to the arrangement of
work for the coming year. and to
make a special effort to come out and
help arrange the work as that it may
be as broad and helpful as possible.

NO PUBLIC SMOKING.
When tho 0ermsns We're Not Allowed
to Smoke ON tho Street%

When the 0ermsns Wore Not Allowed
to Smoke ON tho streets
There are many old-time Germans
who remember how strictly the law
against public smoking used to be en-
forced, says the Newark Call. That
the law Is dead is one of the fruits
of the revolution of 184S The Berlin
ers were the first Germans to smoke
IN public. Courage to do so came to
them during the memorable days when
they dictated laws to their king. Fred
erick William w, the present kaiser's>
granduncle. AS that monarch, while
standing on the balcony of the Berlin
castle. was commanded by the revolu-
tlonists to uncover before their dead,
the mob" says a contemporary
chronicler, 'heaped the additional in
dignity upon him of putting huge pipes
in his presence" The citizens stuck
to their pipes and cigars during the
following months when the police and
military dared not interfere with them
on trifling provocation Afterward,
when the tide had turned, an attempt
was made to again enforce the law,
but the people got so wrought I'D over
the matter that the police dropped the
prosecutions. In March, 1S49, the old
law was repealed AS it happened, lib
erty to smoke everywhere except in
church and in the theater was one of
the few results of the revolution that
have never been interfered with by
subsequent government acts. Before
the revolution disobedience to the anti
smoking law was punishable by a fine
IF one thaler. If q German passed a
sentry box or royal palace pipe in
mouth he was mulcted five thalers. The
smoking of cigars in public was deem
ed particularly offensive and Judges
frequently imposed an extra thaler on
the person guilty of smoking such an
article. IN Germany the cigar came
to be considered 1.-The correct thing"
only after the introduction of matches.
1t was easier to light a cigar than a
pipe by the new-fangled agency, hence
the cigar increased in popularity, and
became gradually recognized as the
superior of the pipe in a social way"
But liberty to smoke" is not yet uni
versal in Germany or elsewhere. In
Berlin, Munich and other capitals. in
Guiding Vienna. army officers and SOL
diers are forbidden to smoke in the .
principal streets, through which mem
bers Of the royal family are likely to
drive. If in other streets they see a
royal carriage approaching, they must
throw sway their cigars. In Alsace>
Lorraine Catholic priests are forbidden
to smoke in public;na rule that pre-
walls in all Latin countries. But the
state has nothing to do with it's pro-
hibition. 1t is regulation enforced
by the church Of Rome. Smoking was
introduced into Germany in 1920 by
English soldiers, and soon became pop
ular. At the close of the thirty years
war (1648) all the princes Of Germany
agreed to stamp out this nuisance"
The use of and traffic in tobacco were
then punished by excessive fines. In
Switzerland, too, smokers had a hard
time of it. Up to 1850 smokers, in
private or public, were liable to the
pillory in addition to Imprisonment
and a fine.

Washington, March t6.A special to the
Herald from Havana says:
The assembly viii not recognize General
Brooke's authority 10 dissolve that body.
So far they had had no notification from
him OF any instructions from Washington
to this effect. II formally notified, they
will protest against It upon the superstition
that It Is the only representative revolu-
tlonary body on the Island, and Will issue
orders TO tho army to resist any arbitrary
measures OF the United States government
Ii Is generally felt in Havana that any
attempt on the part OF the authorities OF
the United States to disband or suppress
tho assembly will only add to the con-
fusion into which public feeling has been
plunged and create sympathy for that body
and dissatisfaction with the present mili-
tary government,
The feeling Is that the presidents de-
cison 10 suppress the assembly will lead
to conflict between the American admin
istration and Cubans in arms. While Cen
eral Gomez has popular sympathy among
civilians, the army, with a view to obtain
ing more money than 100000 and DOM
mated by the sentiments inculeatcd by
Gomez before his adherence to Mr.. Por-
ter's proposition, is inclined more to the
stand taken by the assembly.
