1t is possible that the refusal of mer-
chants, manufacturers and professional
men to employ boys addicted to the
cigarette habit will do more to check the
evil than all the laws passed or planned.
When a boy knows that his future
chance to earn livelihood depends on
his quitting the ill-smelling cigarette. the
knowledge will doubtless have more eff
feet on him than dozen parents or ped
sogues' lectures on the subject.

NOVEL WAR ON SALOONS.
How an Illinois City Proposes to Meet One
of the Objections to Prohibition.

One of the objections frequently
made to the prohibition movement is
that it's success would deprive the mu-
nicipality of a certain revenue.
In an Illinois city, Aurora by name,
the temperance people have framed a
plan which they think will rid the city
of the saloon. Heretofore it has been
impossible to get majority vote in
favor CT low license, partly because OF
the income of forty thousand dollars
which the saloons paid into the treas
ury. At a recent meeting of the evan
gelical clergymen they agreed to raise
a fund equal to the amount OF saloon
license for one year, with which to re-
imburse the city for the loss Of revenue
should the saloons be abolished. With
this understanding the question will
be submitted to a popular vote at the
annual election in 1901. This win give
the preachers sufficient time in which
to raise the money needed.
This is a new way Of meeting the fl
nancial objection and puts the zeal OF
some of the brethren to a considerable
strain.

OLD MIN in FEDERAL OFFICE.
ARE INCAPACITATEDT ITO Dis
CHARGE THEIR DUTIES.
There Are Many Decrepit and
Superannuated Holders OF
Public Places in Washington.

A dispatch to the New York Times
from Washington says:
'The senate recently adopted res
olution calling upon the heads of de-
partments to inform the senate as to
the number of employees in the depart
ments, together with their ages and
statement as to the number incapaci-
tated for any reason. The answers
have been coming in from day to day,
and they contain some suggestive
facts.
'The report from the treasure shows
that there are 81 employees between
60 and q years old, 100 betweee 65 and
60 years, So between 70 and IA years,
24 between Is and 70 years and 10 who
are over so years old.
Fourteen persons in the office of
the auditor for the war department
are partially lacking in the physical
or mental capacity necessary for the
full discharge of their official duties.
About fifty persons in the different bu-
reaus are physically disqualified for
manual labor, but not for clerical
service seven persons in the Office of
the chief clerk of the treasury are
physically or mentally incapacitated
in part for manual labor;
SIN the interior department are 162
employees between the ages of 90 and
SO years inclusive SO between 20 and
IA years, 2S between rs and 70 years,
and who are over so years old. The
total number of employees. in the de-
partment is 1926. Presidential APP
pointees and laborers are not included
in these figures. From the estimate
furnished by the different bureaus and
Offices of the department it may be
stated that something over $50 persons
now on the rolls must be considered as

physically or mentally for the perform
ance of manual labor, in whole or in

An EuthusIsstie Convention Held at 81
Keno, Ok-The Resolutions Sent to
Warrington.

FL Reno, Ok, Feb. 1.-THE terri
toria free homes delegates held an
enthusiastic convention in the federal
court room yesterday. About 200
delegates were present. Hon. Dick
7. Morgan, of Perry, president OF the
Free Homes league, being presiding
officer and Harry Horner, of Enid,
secretary. President Morgan deIiv-
cred an address, which was care
fully prepared exposition of the arg'l-
ments Of the league, citing precedents
in national and political history. Adj
dresses were also listened to from
Hon. Sidney Clarke, Senator Pringer,
Senator Haven, b. s. Barnes. Tom Fer
guson and others, prominent in all
political parties.
The convention resolutions cited
extensively the national platform
declarations on free homes by the re-
publicans, democrats and populists
and demand the honest execution OF
campaign promises. The resolutions
were Immediately telegraphed to
Washington and will be followed by
printed copies of the addresses and
papers delivered before the coliven-
ton.
The attendance was large, every
county being represented by more
than its full list Of delegates, and it
seemed the unanimous sentiment that
the free homes bill would pass. Feel
ing toward the matter was very
marked. and IL was evident that the
free homes measure will have a big
influence on the politics of Oklahoma
in either event. The organization
was continued and campaign of
personal solicitation Endorsed heartily.

for hours by the velocity of the flow

was considered so critical for the

compelled to temporarily close the
controlling works at Lockport to
permit the vessels release. No dam
age was done.
