CIGARETTE USERS BARRED
P0st0ffice Authorities Decide not 10 En-
ploy Bows Who Smoke

/ Chicago, Aug. % Heretofore
there has been a rule in force that
boys employed by the Chicago post
! office could not smoke while work
ing, but, believing that smoking has
a demoralizing effect and because OF
the need of the most intelligent and
active boys, it is thought wise to
make closer restrictions.
At a conference yesterday it was
decided hereafter to employ no boy
who smokes cigarettes oris known to
have once been addicted to the
habit
An examination is soon to be held,
when 700 youths will enter into COM
petition for positions in the post
office, and the new order will have
no small effect upon so large a num-
Der of applicants
The clause relating TO cigarettes
says:
NO small boys will be allowed to
participate in the examination. since
only the best equipped boys mentally
and physically are wanted in this
service, and under no circumstances
will a boy who smokes cigarettes be |

PROBLEM BEFORE THE ALLIES.

London, Aug. 23.-The Official
japanese report, stating that the
allies captured the imperial city on
the 10th only to find the Empress
Dowager, Emperor and chiefs of the
Manchu party had escaped previ-
ously, has not caused much surprise
here. 1t was hardly expected that
the Empress Dowager and her coun-
sellers would allow themselves to be
caught. The difficulties of the situ-
alton are generrlly regarded as in
creased by the escape of these i'm
portant personages, since the allies
viii now have to discover or invent
de facto government in China if
they desire to begin negotiation.
The attitude of the British foreign
Office, however at present is one of
expectation and elaboration. 1t is
not too much to say that they have
no definite plan for the future settle
ment, but are waiting to hear re-
ports from Sir Claude Macdonald
ana Sir Robert Hart by whose opin-
ions they will be largely guided.
General satisfaction is felt here a
the close association of the British |
and Americans on the march and on |
the fnal assault. 1t is remembered
that 1T was in China that the lannon's
saying, 'blood is thicker than
water, was first uttered.

the Americans and said that for dash

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

Deafness is caused by an iDfiamed condi-

The Bennington & Rutland railroad

The Bennington & Rutland railroad
was sold Monday afternoon to PEREZ
val w. Clement Of Rutland. By, this
sale the road passes into the hands OF
the Rutland railroad, and his consoli-
dalton will mark the completion of a
western Vermont railway system,
which will bring that section into close
relations with the great cities. Since
the road was chartered in 1915 as the
Western Vermont Railway Company,
it has changed hands and names many
times. The branch from North Ben
nington to the state line to connect
with the Troy 81 Bennington railroad
was opened in July, 1852, and that
from North BENIN Iton to Benning
ton in 1854. In January, 1857 it went
into the hands of mortgage trustees,
and was consolidated with the Lebanon
Springs railroad in 1870 under the
name of Harlem Extension Railroad.
This line was leased to the Vermont
Central in 1878 but four years later 1t
reverted to the trustees of the original
companies on account of the Centrab
giving up the lease. A reorganization
under the name of Bennington x
Rutland company followed. Since
1871 this company has controlled the
road. Gen. John G. Mccullough was
made president of the road in 1873.
He is prominent in railroad circles,
having been connected with many OF
the large systems.
