Cigarette dealers OF Chicago who are
hghung In the courts the payment Of
the 500 license Zee imposed by the city
council a couple Of years ago lost their
case yesterday when the appellate court
sustained the decision OF Judge Nicely
and refused TO issue an Injunction
against the collection Of the license fee
says the Chicago Tlmes-ierald OF No
vember 9.
Now the dealers have one Of three
courses Of action before them. and they
will decide at a meeting Of the cigar
and Tobacco Merchants association TO
be held in the near future which they
VIII follow. They will either carry the
case to the supreme court attempt 10
have the city council repeal the license
or find satisfaction for their feelings
by making an effort 20 have the city
enforce the license fairly and without
discrimination on all dealers who sell
cigarettes, whether on big or small
scale.
The reason we have fought this case
so hard and so long said Albert Bret
tung president Of the association. yes
terday, rs that the ordinance has been
50 carelessly enforced that II has been
O great injustice Either the city should
enforce the ordinance fairly or It should
repeal II. There are at present In Chi
cago from 5000 to 5000 dealers in cigar
cites, and Of these only $50 pay tho
500 license. The others pay nothing to
the city though one would naturally
think that most OF them pay something
10 somebody else for their protection.
Times Of prosperity have struck us
along with all the rest OF the country,
and / would not be bit surprised II
the tobacco dealers could at once raise
q fund big enough TO make II possible
20 secure evidence and prosecute the
people who violate the law. ! don't say
positively that We viii do this, but /
will call meeting at once, and we will
discuss II.
Il have no doubt that the city col
lector Is doing his best 10 enforce the
law. The matter Of 800 year Is a con-
siderable item for the city, hut the po-
lice officers TO whom the duty Is left
OF reporting dealers without licenses
are very negligent.

DEATH OFTEN COMES FROM TRIPLES.
nrIlnrnnnnf

Men and women die every day in
ways as peculiar as iucomprehensible.
The story Of the man who. having
travelled the world over, braved tropic
dangers and arctic ylcissitudes and
checkmated death In a thousand ways
and under a thousand different dis
guises, came home to die by a fall from
his own doorstep is discounted daily in
actual life.
A Chicago woman talked herself to
death not long since. Literally and act
ually cut on her life span with her
tongue and her teeth. For over ten
years she had never stopped talking
by night or day. asleep or awake A
nervous woman and a great talker al

decade since and commenced 70 talk
without cessation. Gradually growing
weaker she yet talked the more un-
Ceasingly. A particularly rapid and

literally short OF breath" She had
talked herself into eternity

A MANIA FOR BIG WORDS.

In the st. James Buget T. a. Vance
calls attention to the mania for big
words among men Of science and gives
some amusing examples: Mr.. Herbert
Spencer in his First Principles" the
first volume OF his Synthetic Phlloso-
ply, says that Evolution Is an integra-
ton OF matter and concomltant dlssipa-
ton Of motion, during which the matter
passes from an Indifferent, incoherent
homogeneity to a definite coherent
heterogenelty, and during which the re-
tanned motion undergoes a parallel
transformation" ! can remember many
years ago hearing an acquaintance reel
of a remarkable paraphrase Of that
good old saw" People who live In glass
houses should not throw stones" This
Is the way he put it. Individuals in
habiting domiciles Of crystalline struc-
ture should refrain from the projection
Of missiles Of granite formation"
The late George John Romanes was
another scientist who fairly reyeled In
big words. He played with them, Jug
gled them into sentences, and the aver
age reader cannot help losing himself In
the bewildering maze. Two examples
from his Examination OF Wesmann-
ISM" his best known work, will Illus
trate the point, They are selected at
random. Romanes In speaking Of plant
life says: 'All the multicellular organ
isms propagate themselves, not exolu-
sively by flssion or gemmation. but by
sexual fertilization" Which, translated
TO common English. means that higher
plants multiply not only by division
and buds but by seeds. A little further
on Mr.. Romanes speaks OF the "undif.
ferentIated idloplasm Of the first onto
genetic stage"
Such words are simply staggering
The other day ] met with the word
"idiodactylae." The Standard Dlction-
airy defines Il thus: "a phalanx OF
coliomorpic oscine birds" OF course
the meaning Of the word was at once
made clear. In some readings on ento-
biological subjects | met with the word
"planipennla." which the Standard says
Is a name given to a sub-order Of neur-
opterous insects with multlnervate
wings and multiarticuate antennae.
The definitions OF scientific words IN
the Standard Dictionary. as may be in
ferred by the examples cited are not

A little child, a week or two ago. fell
