The Cigarette Evil.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York" World has discovered that
at least thirty girls In tho public school
Of that city are addicted to the habit OF
smoking cigarettes. The discovery was
first made by the president Of the Young
Peoples Temperance Society and u
leader Of the Anti.Cigarette League.
He also found upon investigation that
25 per cent. Of the boys In the Washing
ton public schools from Z to 10 years Of
aye smoke cigarettes about 8S per cent.
from 10 TO 10 years old, 80 per cent. Of
those from l2 to IA years, and about 33
per cent. of the pupils In the seventh
and eighth grades, lads OF ID years and
over.
II census OF cigarette smokers In
the public schools Of the other cities of
the country could be taken the result
would no doubt be equally ~ bad as
that furnished by dissatisfaction who
conducted the investigation ut Washing
ton, The laws Of the District Of Colum-
bia forbidding the sale Of cigarettes TO
minors are as stringent as those enacted
by many state legislatures, but little or
no effort Is made to enforce them.
Too much cannot bo done In arousing
public sentiment to combat this evil
which Ia taking such u strong hold upon
the youth of the land. The deadly little
rolls of paper and tobacco are nerve
destroyers Of the worst kind. The ap'
petite for cigarettes grows and leads to

cigarette league, composed Of influential
citizens, who should insist that the law
against the sale of cigarettes TO minors
be rigidly enforced,

Attack on Great Britain.

From the Washington d. C) Times.
Senator Hale Friday, the lst, bitterly
attacked the policy of Great Britain and
on the floor of the Senate placed himself
on record as Boer sympathizer. He
stated that with millions Of starving
subjects In India, England was spending
hundreds Of millions to tear down re.
publics while she calmly sat and
watched the black horrors In the Orient
and waited for other nations to feed her
subjects, He made sensational attack
on the British policy Of BLOOD and not
bread and for time staggered the
Republicans In the Senate by his state
ments.
As soon as the morning business was
opened Mr.. Perkins presented petition
from the people Of California setting
forth the horrors Of starvation In India
and asking that Congress appropriate
$500, 900 to relieve the suffering Mr..
Perkins dwelt at length on the need Of
immediate action, and pictured the con
dition of the natives.
The world Is Mortified at the conditions
now prevailing In India, said Mr.. Hale.
1T Is sickening. TO say the least. Babes
are starving at the mother breast, and
thousands Of human beings are dragged
into holes like dogs and buried after a
living death. | know Of nothing In
history 80 pitiful as the present condition
Of the natives In India, England s
greatest colony.
'And now the Senator from California
comes into the United States Senate and
asks us to appropriate large sums to
feed these people. This Is good thing !;

Hanna's ArmOr Plate.

From the 81. Louis Republic,
In the separtee incident to speech
on the proposition to erect govern
ment armor plate factory Senator Mark
Hanna declared that the only kind Of
armor plate he had ever manufactured
was political srmor plate and he had
found his product ''pretty invulner'
able. -
That assertion may be true Us 1t con.
Germs the campaign of 1896, but indica'
tions are that the Hanna armor plate
has during the last four years lost much
Of It's invulnerability.
Armor plate is effective until new
projectile with unusual powers Of pene-
tration strikes 1t, or until it has deterior.
ated from undue strains. Hanna s
political armor plate has been subjected
to strains of torsion, tension and com
preston recently. The strain resulting
from the load of the trusts for the past
four years has been considerable. In,
dications are that Senator Hanna will
learn y number Of surprising facts about
his armor plate when again 1t Is brought
upon the proving ground.

Rev. M. Smythe Dead.

From the Fort Smith Times Saturday,
Rev. Michael Smythn, assistant pastor
of the church of the Immaculate Con-
ception and brother of Father Laurence
Smyth, the pastor, died this morning at
10 0 clock at the parochial residence.
|. Father Smyth s death was rs sudden
as 1t was unexpected although for the
past forty eight hours 1t was apparent
that his illness would prove fatal. He
was in seeming good health Sunday
morning and celebrated the 1880 o clock
mass. It was noticed that the thumb
Of his right hand was bandaged and
that it was with some Inconvenience
that he waited on the mass communi'
cants. It was this member, however,
that subsequently caused the illness
that resulted In the priests death. IT
Is not known just how Father Smyth
injured or fractured his thumb, but
blood poisoning followed the injury and
produced death. He received the very
closest and best of medical attention
and everything that could be was done
for the suffering priest, who patiently
endured the tortures Of the fatal malady.
His brother ministered to both his
temporal and spiritual needs and the
priest died fully conscious and participat.
Ing In the last sacraments of the church
administered by Father Plus, pastor Of
the German Catholic church.
